An offensive lineman from North Carolina is Penn State's first verbal commitment for the recruiting class of 2009.
Ty Howle, a 6-foot-2, 295-pounder from Bunn, N.C., apparently gave the Nittany Lion coaches his word on Monday, following an Easter weekend recruiting trip to State College.
He was a first-team all-state selection as a junior and reportedly turned down offers from Navy and East Carolina and also was apparently recruited hard by Georgia Tech.
He has a GPA close to 4.0 and told FightOnState.com that his areas of study could range from chemical engineering to pre-med.
He was recruited by Penn State defensive line coach Larry Johnson.
