STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Several of the top prospects who have given verbal commitments to Penn State have told the team’s coaches they will stick with the program despite the sanctions handed down by the NCAA last week.
Offensive linemen Brendan Mahon of Randolph, N.J., and Andrew Nelson of Hershey, Pa., Philadelphia wide receiver Will Fuller, defensive end Garrett Sickels of Little Silver, N.J., and two of Bill O’Brien’s most anticipated commitments –tight end Adam Breneman of Camp Hill, Pa., and quarterback Christian Hackenberg of Fork Union, Va. — visited State College on Saturday and met with Penn State coaches.
Defensive tackle Greg Webb of Sicklerville, N.J., and cornerback Ross Douglas of Avon, Ohio, have de-committed but 12 others have stayed firm in their pledges to the Nittany Lions.
