Penn State Football Recruiting: First 2022 Big Board

1. Enai White

As discussed with Dennis-Sutton, Penn State faces some future issues at the defensive end position. Nothing would fix that problem quicker than adding the 5-star Philadelphia product.

White attends Imhotep Institute in Philadelphia, a school that produced Penn State’s current defensive end starter, Shaka Toney. So, there is a history with the school.

The 6-foot-5, 230 pound White is considerer one of the top prospects in the country and has the likes of LSU and Alabama after him. This will not be an easy pull for the Nittany Lions, as lots of Philly kids like to head south for school.

Penn State is trying to reestablish a presence in Philly, commit Ken Talley is from there and two other targets on this board, Carter and Nelson Jr., are as well. If Penn State can get those two in the fold, White may want to join the other Philadelphia products in Happy Valley.

White would be a day one impact player for the Nittany Lions, and he and Dennis-Sutton could give Penn State one of the best defensive end duos in the country.

This one will be a battle, and likely a long one, but if the staff can pull this off, they will have filled a big need and regained dominance of the state of Pennsylvania.
