The Nittany Lions expect to land the 15th member of their 2010 recruiting today at noon when Manheim Central High's Dakota Royer announces his college choice.
The defensive end/linebacker hybrid is highly-regarded by national recruiting experts and has a big list of scholarship offers from top-tier programs such as Notre Dame, Oregon and Michigan State.
Most predict that he will pick Penn State.
He is rated as a three-star (out of five) prospect by national recruiting services but some experts, such as CBS Sports analyst Tom Lemming, said Royer may be the most productive player in Pennsylvania and expects him to develop into an All-America type at Penn State.
Meanwhile, the recruiting saga of Marcus Lattimore, arguably the top running back in the nation, continues on. The South Carolina kid has pushed back a much-anticipated unofficial visit to Penn State before but now finally seems to be coming for sure this weekend.
He is traveling with family members as well as teammate Nick Jones, another Division I-A prospect.
