Penn State’s offensive line commits
For fans, this is the first chance to see top-50 tackle prospect Garrett Sexton up close. Sexton shot up the recruiting rankings this offseason thanks to his nearly 6-7 frame and impressive athletic skills. The 44th overall player in the country faced off against 61st-ranked Liam Andrews on a few reps as well.
Speaking of massive with great athleticism, North Carolina native Eagan Boyer was also in attendance. The 6-8 lineman is a three-star prospect in the On3 rankings and got good work against several defensive linemen, including Xavier Gilliam.
Wisconsin native Donovan Harbour showed why he was a top-100 player at one time with his work on Friday. He stonewalled Andrews several times during the pass-blocking drills. Harbour has lost weight this offseason after committing to Penn State. He’s currently a three-star player in the On3 rankings but has the potential to move back up with better conditioning. Recruiting insider Sean Fitz discussed that weight transition earlier this weekend.
“Wisconsin guard Donovan Harbour is working on his body, and the elements of his sophomore film are starting to show. He’s uniquely smooth on his feet for a 325-pounder. He’s down from nearly 340 pounds earlier this year, so he’s moving in the right direction. Harbour is a guy that Penn State feels can thrive in more structure.”
Gilliam stands out in one-on-one drills
Penn State camp veteran Cooper Cousins had an entertaining back-and-forth with Gilliam, who got the better of several players off the edge on Friday, and was the standout defensive lineman of the day. Cousins also got work against Penn State defensive tackle commit De’Andre Cook.
However, Cook’s main opponent was 2025 offensive line prospect Michael Carroll. The Penn State legacy offensive lineman earned an offer last time he attended a Penn State camp and was once again one of the most consistent blockers in attendance. Carroll spoke with Fitz, who gathered today’s video, about his time at camp. Check out that conversation here.
