Defensive end Adisa Isaac is also ex- pected to be in attendance. However, it was still unclear if the New York native would take an uno8cial or o8cial visit. Isaac in- formed BWI in September that he wanted to take an o8cial visit that weekend, but sources gave us the impression that the sta7 was hoping to get him on campus for an uno8cial visit, thus allowing them to save his o8cial visit for later in the season or in December. While Isaac, who stands 6-5, 210 pounds, hasn't admitted that the Lions are his top choice, his high school coach, Brian Ellis, has told multiple media members that he doesn't expect Isaac to go far from home. His upcoming visit will be his sixth to Penn State, which is more than double any other school. The sta7 is also expected to host at least two dozen quality prospects in the classes of 2020 and '21. As of Sept. 17, BWI had con6rmed seven notable Class of 2020 prospects who are expected to be in at- tendance, including 6ve-star defensive lineman Bryan Bresee. In October 2017, the 6-5, 280-pound Damascus, Md., native raved about the atmosphere at last year's White Out game against Michigan. It's a major reason why he not only returned for two additional visits in April and July but has also admit- ted that the Nittany Lions are among his early favorites. In fact, some believe that Penn State is the team to beat at this stage, although we should stress that Bresse doesn't plan to make a decision until he takes all 6ve of his o8cial visits next year. A few other notable 2020 prospects who plan to make the trip include defen- sive tackle Cole Brevard of Carmel, Ill., wide receiver Julian Fleming of Catawissa, Pa., and o7ensive lineman Michael Carmody of Mars, Pa. The Class of 2021 will also have its fair share of talent. Running back Evan Pryor of Charlotte, defensive end Jack Sawyer of Pickerington, Ohio, and o7ensive line- man Landon Tengwall of Olney, Md., are all set to attend their 6rst White Out game in Beaver Stadium. Not only are all three expected to be among the region's best at their position, but they've also taken at least two previous visits to University Park. ■ CLASS OF 2019 VERBALLY COMMITTED PLAYERS NAME POS HOME SCHOOL Hakeem Beamon DL Chesterfield, Va.
