Remembering Penn State’s Top Recruits Over the Last 10 Years

2007- OL Stefen Wisniewski

Pittsburgh native Stefen Wisniewski was the top recruit in Penn State’s 2007 recruiting class. He was a standout at Central Catholic High School and was rated as the No. 3 recruit in the state and the No. 4 offensive guard prospect.

Listed as a four-star recruit, Wisniewski had teams like Michigan, Northwestern and West Virginia interested in him.  Despite the interest by other schools, Wisniewski was all but destined to go to school in Happy Valley. Both his father Leo and his uncle Steve were former Nittany Lions.

Wisniewski had a great career at Penn State both on and off the field. He was named an All-American in 2010 and was an ESPN Academic All-American three times. Able to play both guard and center, Wisniewski brought the versatility that offensive line coaches love.

After his college career he was selected in the second round of the 2011 NFL draft by the Oakland Raiders. He’s currently a member of the Philadelphia Eagles.
