James Franklin, Penn State hosting 5-star QB committed to SEC school this weekend
The best game in the country this weekend is no question going to be No. 3 Penn State hosting No. 4 Ohio State on Saturday. James Franklin and Penn State are coming off an impressive win on the road against Wisconsin, while Ohio State is hoping to silence their haters.
Well, Penn State's campus is going to be rocking this weekend, as countless people are going to be making their way to town for this huge showdown. The list includes plenty of big-name recruits Franklin is hoping will be playing their college ball for him.
Might Happy Valley be the future home for 5-star quarterback Matt Zollers? Zollers is currently committed to Missouri, but that isn't stopping him from keeping his options open. This weekend, Zollers is visiting Penn State for the Ohio State showdown. This is huge news for Franklin and Co.
5-star Mizzou QB commit Matt Zollers is visiting Penn State this weekend
Zollers is a 6-4, 205-pounder, who is also one of the top quarterbacks in the country for his class. He has been a Mizzou verbal since April and he then took his official visit to campus in June. However, that isn't stopping other schools from trying to land his signature.
This includes Penn State, as Franklin is keen to try and get the youngster to flip. Zoller is playing things down, saying he's still locked in 100 percent with Missouri. However, do we really think he'd be taking a visit to PSU unless he had strong interest in the Big Ten program?
Only time will tell if Zollers ends up sticking with Missouri, or if he decides to open up his recruitment. We don't want to speculate on what might go down, but Franklin is ready to shoot his shot in making something happen. A win over Ohio State on Saturday could help his chances in getting the job done.
