A look at Penn State football commits’ performances in Week 5

Week four 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.

This week we will start right here in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
