I'll still be training everything else. I'm not going to let that impact me this spring and summer. BWI How did academic considerations play into your decision? I know that's important to you and your family, so did that have a major impact on your com- mitment? Also, do you have any idea what you want to major in yet? KATSHIR That was a top priority, no doubt. When you graduate from Penn State, that's worldwide recognition. I know that having that degree will allow me to get top job interviews all across the country, all across the world. The foot- ball program really takes that seriously, too. They make sure that they graduate their guys, which I really respect. As far as my major, I'm still not sure. I have plenty of time to "gure that out, so I don't want to rush into anything. I'm still exploring di#erent options. BWI Is there anything you would like to say to Penn State fans? Anything you would want people to know about your- self or about your decision to commit? KATSHIR I would just say thank you to everyone for all the support they've shown. Not just in the past couple of weeks, but really, ever since I got the o#er. There have been so many fans wishing me nothing but the best. I ap- preciate that. I also appreciate the sup- port they show the team. Their passion meant a lot to me. But also, it really is a dream come true to play for Penn State. I can't wait to represent the school and the team. I'll always give you guys every- thing I've got. ■ NAME POS HT WT RATING HOME SCHOOL Shaquon Anderson-Butts WR 5-9 195 ★★★★ Harrisburg, Pa.
