4. CB Daniel Harris

If there’s a position we’d all like to see Penn State Football recruit better at, it’s cornerback.

The Nittany Lions historically do not reel in the blue-chip cornerbacks at the same rate they do other positions. They’ll get a chance to change that this weekend though with 4-star Daniel Harris on campus.

From Miami, FL, Harris is listed at 6-foot-2 and 175 pounds, elite size for a cornerback. He is the No. 19 cornerback in the 247 Sports Composite rankings and has an impressive offer sheet.

The Nittany Lions are his final official visit after also spending time at Ohio State, Michigan and Georgia. Yeah, the competition is tough.

This is a visit where maybe expectations going in aren’t exactly high, but all it takes is one big visit to turn the tide. Keep an eye out for Harris at the conclusion of his visit.
