Penn State tweets of the day

We start with four-star Fairfax, Va., linebacker Tony Rojas. The 6-foot-2, 195-pound defender is set to pick between Penn State, Clemson, Georgia. He will do so during a ceremony in his high school’s gymnasium. It is slated to start at 4 p.m. and will be streamed on YouTube live at the link below.

Entering the day, the Lions own a commanding lead in the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine.

“For most of his recruitment I’ve like Penn State here,” On3 director of recruiting Chad Simmons said on The Simmons Scoop. “I think Penn State has done a great job building that relationship with him, those close to him and showing the plan they had for him to fit into their defensive scheme.”

In other news, On3’s Ivan Maisel ranked Beaver Stadium as one of his top 11 venues in all of college football. The longtime college football reporter is well positioned to make such a list, as he’s seen home game environments all over the country during his nearly four-decade career to date.

“Beaver Stadium isn’t much to look at – was it assembled in the dark? – but, man, can it host a party,” Maisel writes.

“I don’t know if Penn State fans started the midgame sing-along, but they have perfected it. Hearing 106,000 Nittany Lions belt out “Livin’ on a Prayer” is one of the great endorphin rushes that doesn’t involve a touchdown.”

Finally, here’s a look at Penn State freshman running back Nick Singleton cleaning 365 pounds.

Quote of the day

“I think Clemson was a competitor late spring. Early summer, Georgia became that threat early-to-mid June. Penn State has held all those schools off and they’re in line for a big-time commit later this week from one the more I think athletic linebacker in this class.”
