Noticed that as well
The 97 rating is his 2022 HS rating. Read a couple articles on him. Signed with A&M in ’22. Portalled to PSU last year and moved from DE to DT with very little playing time. Flipped through every page in ON3 portal listing of DL and didn’t find him listed at all.
I sense there’s a story.

Anyone have a count on how many ex-Penn State players we have now? **

IIRC we got 12 of their HS RECRUITS and 12 portal transfers, so 24 total.

VT’s 2025 record is irrelevant. VT’s aspirations are not.

Really easy draw. They changed the seeding rules in part because of it.**

They're not THAT highly ranked. A handful are. Most are the usual.**

A handful are highly ranked, but most are borderline 3*/4* like usual.
