Speaking of Penn State, this is shaping up to be a huge weekend for the Nittany Lions. Heading into a night game against Ohio State, the Penn State coaching staff has lined up an impressive group of visitors, headlined by official visits from both
Burrell and four-star defensive tackle
Tim Settle, plus visits from other top 2015 targets
Ricky DeBerry and possibly recently offered Clemson commit
Juwuan Briscoe (mentioned earlier). More importantly, a number of top 2016 targets will be on hand, including
Ahmir Mitchell,
Jordan Fuller,
Jauan Williams,
Michal Menet,
Naseir Upshur,
Parker Boudreaux,
Ron Johnson and
Justin Layne. This is an enormous opportunity for Penn State, who will definitely have a raucous atmosphere on Saturday night. However, with the Nittany Lions floundering on the field in recent weeks and Ohio State embarrassing opponents during that same stretch,
the risk is there that a dominant performance by the Buckeyes might push some recruits towards Columbus.
