P
enn State has wasted little time
when it comes to setting up o-cial
visits for its top remaining Class of
2017 prospects.
During the past two years, James
Franklin and his assistants preferred that
recruits wait until late in the season or in
December or January to o-cially visit.
Like so many other programs, Penn State
wanted its recruits to be on campus as
close as possible to that player's decision
date.
However, it appears as if the sta, has
now changed its plan of attack, as Blue
White Illustrated has already con+rmed
that eight seniors are planning to take of-
+cial visits to Penn State before the end of
the season.
Those visits actually began in mid-Sep-
tember, as the sta, hosted linebacker An-
thony Hines III, defensive lineman
Matthew Butler and receiver K.J. Hamler
for the game against Temple.

LINEBACKER PROSPECT
Hines surprised many recruit-
ing analysts when he an-
nounced plans to take an
official visit to Penn State. The
Texas native is considered one
of the top linebackers in the
Class of 2017 and has received
more than 50 offers.
