demics were one of Menet's main priorities.
"Duke's academics are some of the most
prestigious in the country, so that was one
of the reasons I was so high on them," he
said. "At Penn State, they also really pri-
oritize that. They really make sure that
they set their guys up to be successful
when they leave and I really liked that. So
that, plus everything else they have to o:er,
and them being closer to home, really made
me feel comfortable with this decision."
Menet wasn't the only o:ensive lineman
to join Penn State's Class of 2016 in May,
as three-star o:ensive tackle Alex Geller-
stedt also verbally committed to Franklin
and o:ensive line coach Herb Hand. A 6-
7, 275-pound prospect from Dublin, Ohio,
Gellerstedt earned 12 total scholarship of-
fers. Among the schools that wanted him
were Kentucky, North Carolina, North-
western, Pitt, Rutgers and West Virginia.
