Where did Penn State commits land in the latest On3 recruiting rankings release?

A few Penn State commits sit just outside the Top 100 in the new updates. Quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer is up to No. 107 nationally, while offensive lineman Cooper Cousins is right behind him at No. 109. Athlete Quinton Martin checks in at No. 118 and defensive lineman Liam Andrews dropped from the Top 100 to No. 120 overall.
Safety Vaboue Toure is now at No. 228 overall and DeJuan Lane stayed in the On300 at No. 296 nationally. Wide receiver Josiah Brown fell outside the On300, where he previously slotted at No. 298 overall.
