Future 247 DE Tom Strobel talks Penn State visit

Future 247 DE Tom Strobel (Mentor, Ohio/Mentor) was one of the many prospects in attendance for Penn State?s victory over Michigan.

The 6-foot-6, 245-pound Strobel currently holds offers from Cincinnati and Purdue, and is hearing from most of the top schools across the nation including the Nittany Lions.

"It was actually great," Strobel said. "It was a great experience. What I really liked about them was their student section to be honest. It was so sweet.

"After going there for the first time, I really liked the atmosphere of the game, and the atmosphere of the campus. It was like a city within itself. I thought it was cool and I liked it a lot."

Strobel didn't get much time with the Penn State coaches, but says he's gotten a couple hand-written letters from assistant coach Jay Paterno.

On his way home on Sunday, Strobel stopped at Pittsburgh. Earlier this fall he attended the Ohio State-Miami game, and the Cincinnati-Oklahoma game.

More coming on 247Sports in the morning.

Pitt offers Future247 defensive end

Future247 defensive end Tom Strobel confirmed with 247Sports that he recently added his third scholarship offer, this one coming from Pittsburgh.

Cincinnati and Purdue had previously offered the Mentor (Ohio) High standout.

The 6-foot-6, 245-pound Strobel had a chance to visit Pittsburgh on Oct. 31, a day after he was at Penn State for the Nittany Lions victory over Michigan.

"I loved the staff," Strobel said. "I was very comfortable with them and they treated me like I was one of their own."

Stobel is looking to return to Pittsburgh in the near future. Earlier this fall, Strobel took in Ohio State's home win over Miami and Cincinnati's loss to Oklahoma.

Prep notes: Mentor football standout Strobel is drawing major interest from colleges

The interest in Mentor defensive end Tom Strobel from major college football programs is definitely heating up.

Strobel, who just completed his junior season as an all-district performer and a third-team All-Ohioan, can't receive official scholarship offers until this summer. However, several schools have contacted Cardinals coach Steve Trivisonno and informed him when the time comes, the 6-foot-6, 240-pound senior-to-be will be a player who will be offered a chance to play at some of the top programs in the country.

So far, Trivisonno confirmed the list of schools potentially interested in offering Strobel a scholarship include Stanford, Michigan, Michigan State, Purdue and Wisconsin.

"Michigan State told me it took them three plays watching Tom on tape to realize they wanted him," Trivisonno said. "Stanford said it took about eight plays, and they turned off the film because they saw enough to know he was a guy they wanted."

In 8 1/2 regular-season games last year, Strobel had 32 tackles, five tackles for loss, 30 QB pressures, two sacks, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.
