Penn State Football 2022 committ Beau Pribula made social media waves with his impressive weight room performance Wednesday.

Pribula is a Central York native (Central York High School) and committed to James Franklin and the Nittany Lions on June 25th.

A four star recruit, Pribula was also recruited by fellow Big Ten Conference rivals Northwestern and Nebraska but chose Penn State over them, Buffalo and Connecticut.  His 6’2″ frame is traditional for a pocket passer but he’s currently listed as a DUAL threat, the 9th highest in the state and the #12 overall recruit in the state for the class of 2022.

On his twitter account Wednesday, Pribula posted a wildly impressive 310-pound “power-clean” lift.  While that may seem like quite a few pounds shy of the current record holder, a reminder that Beau is still in high school and the current record holder for Penn State (at 405 pounds) is, well, Saquon Barkely in 2017 and things worked out pretty well for the #2 pick in the 2018 NFL Draft.

While it remains to be seen what the future holds for Beau Pribula, videos like this at his age only add to the legend and lure before he even steps foot on campus.  Penn State Football Strength Coach Dwight Gault has to be amped to get Beau in Holuba Hall as soon as possible!
