A look at Penn State football commits’ performances in Week 3

Week three of high school football season is in the books. So, here is VBR’s weekly look at how Penn State football commits performed over the weekend.

Throughout the 2017 football season I will take a look at how Penn State football commits perform in their high school football games each week. With high school football now in full swing across the country, there is plenty to talk about after this past weekend.

We will start down in the DMV where wide receiver commit Daniel George and running back commit Ricky Slade each played huge roles in their teams being victorious.

George had five receptions for 47 yards, as well as the game sealing interception for Oxon Hill in their 19-12 victory over Riverdale Baptist. Meanwhile, Slade continued his huge senior season for the Hylton Bulldogs as he rushed for 185 yards in their 41-0 victory over Osbourn. This included a 93-yard touchdown run as one of his three total touchdowns.

Sticking to the DMV, offensive tackle Nana Asiedu helped pave the way to a 48-12 for North Stafford High School. Led by Asiedu’s blocking the Wolverines rushed for over 300 yards in this game. PJ Mustipher and McDonogh Eagles improved to 2-0 with a 42-7 victory over Bishop McNamara. Up next for the Eagles is a showdown with national powerhouse DeMatha Catholic.
