fered yet, but he's made it clear that's an offer he covets. The Lions currently hold commitments from a few really good re- ceivers, but adding Greene would be a home run. Omarion Hampton RB | 6-0 | 210 Clayton, N.C. Cleveland If Penn State could add any remaining running back prospect in the country, Nick Singleton would probably be their No. 1 choice, with Hampton being con- sidered 1A. Like Virginia, North Carolina started its high school football season a few weeks ago, meaning that schools all across the country will be watching Hampton closely. Alabama, Clemson and Ohio State surprisingly haven't ex- tended offers yet, but we know Seider and the rest of PSU's staff are very high on him. North Carolina and Florida are also heavily involved. George Pettaway RB | 5-11 | 175 Su2olk, Va. Nansemond Su2olk Academy Pettaway earned an o3er from Penn State in April 2020. He missed much of the 2019 season with an injury, and then Virginia postponed football until this spring, so schools like Penn State are just now getting the opportunity to see how Pettaway rebounds. The long layo3 hasn't stopped anyone from showing in- terest, as Pettaway has earned more than two dozen scholarship o3ers. Alabama, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Ore- gon and Texas A&M are a few of the top programs that are chasing him. Virginia, Virginia Tech and Notre Dame all hosted Pettaway for visits in 2019. Nick Singleton RB | 5-11 | 191 Shillington, Pa. Governor Mi1in Symbolically, Singleton may be the most important player on this list. While Pett- away and Brown appear to have similar potential, Singleton resides in the Reading area, making him one of a few in-state targets that the Nittany Lions have to land. They've already earned a commit- ment from Drew Shelton, making Single- ton the top remaining o3ensive prospect in the Keystone State. The problem for the Lions is that Ohio State is a serious player here, just as it was with a few other key prospects who le4 Pennsylvania for Columbus. Alabama has also o3ered re- cently, although Singleton has given no indication that he's ready to make a com- mitment in the near future. ■ UNDECIDED Brown is believed to be considering Virginia, Virginia Tech and West Virginia in addition to Penn State. Ja'Juan Seider has helped put PSU in contention for the four-star running back. Photo courtesy of Rivals.com
