A big week of Penn State recruiting
It's not much of a surprise here, but three-time defending NCAA champion Penn State is making another big splash with some verbal commitments for the Class of 2014.
None bigger on the list than Chance Marsteller, who is the consensus #1 recruit in the nation. Marsteller heads into his senior year at Class AAA Kennard-Dale with three state titles and a 125-0 record. Dubbed the next great of the greats for years, Marsteller has not disappointed.
You can get to a link to a story about the verbal commitment by Flowrestling's Willie Saylor by clicking here.
Earlier in the week, Penn State received a verbal from two-time California heavyweight champion Nick Nevills, who is rated as high as #5 in the 2014 recruiting class. Penn State already had a verbal from Pennsylvania standout Thomas Haines of Solanco, who is #7.
Nevills' commitment could be interesting for the Haines' camp since both would likely project at heavyweight. We'll have to wait and see on that one.
