Recruiting Snapshot: Penn State

Pittsburgh (PA) Woodland Hills RB Miles Sanders

2016 Team Ranking: #9. Penn State has ten 4-stars and eight 3-stars committed.

Cream of the 2016 Crop: Reading (PA) Exeter OT Michael Menet (6’5″, 273 lbs.) is a 4-star, the #4 OT, and #32 overall. He spurned offers from powerhouses like Alabama, Auburn, and Ohio State to choose the home-state Nittany Lions. Pittsburgh (PA) Woodland Hills RB Miles Sanders (see below; 4-star, #2 RB, #40 overall) is a 5’11”, 199 lb. speedster with a little bit of power and some big-time offers. Both Menet and Sanders are Under Armour All-Americans. Meanwhile, the 6’4″, 221 lb. Shane Simmons (4-star, #4 WDE, #67 overall) could help Penn State continue their trend of excelling in the pass rush. The Nittany Lions also have the #1 kicker, the #2 punter, and the #3 center committed.
