Penn State hosted roughly 50 prospects on Saturday when it played Rutgers in the first "Stripe Out" game. Because the staff has only a few scholarships remaining for the Class of 2016, the majority of the visitors were from the Class of 2017. The top-ranked prospect who made the trip was defensive back Lamont Wade of Clairton, Pa. A five-star prospect, according to Ri- vals.com, Wade has been on cam- pus roughly a half-dozen times dating back to last season. He holds 14 scholarship offers, but that list should grow later this fall, once schools are able to review his mid- season film. Penn State is his top five, while other schools to watch include Ohio State, Pitt and West Virginia. The staff also hosted linebackers David Adams of Pittsburgh and Dylan Rivers of Stephens City, Va. Both have made multiple visits to campus during the past year, the most recent of which was for the Lasch Bash barbecue in July. The two prospects hit it off during that event and have kept in contact ever since. That should help the staff when each one gets close to making a commitment. The coaching staff also hosted two Class of 2018 prospects with five-star potential in defensive end Micah Parsons of Harrisburg, Pa., and running back Jaelen Gil of Westerville, Ohio. Some other no- table 2018 prospects who made the trip include offensive lineman Chris Bleich of Plymouth, Pa., and wide receiver Shaquon Anderson- Butts of Harrisburg. Below is a list of prospects that were in attendance and have either already picked up a scholarship offer or have a good chance of get- ting one in the coming year.
