N O V E M B E R 1 5 , 2 0 1 7 B L U E W H I T E O N L I N E . C O M 15 Penn State hosted one of North Car- olina's top up-and-coming prospects this past weekend in wide receiver Michael Wyman. Already listed at 6-foot-2, 185 pounds, Wyman has earned the attention of multi- ple schools across the region. So far, the Class of 2020 prospect from Greensboro, N.C., holds two scholarship offers from in- state programs Duke and North Carolina, but that's expected to grow this coming winter and spring, once schools are able to review his sophomore season film. "The visit was outstanding," Wyman said. "This was my first visit to Penn State. The facilities are nice, the coaches are great, and I got to talk to one of the players that I got to play with last year [linebacker Brelin Faison- Walden]. "But what stood out to me the most was seeing so many fans and getting to meet the head football coach in the mid- dle of the football field during warm-ups." When asked about his talks with Faison-Walden, Wyman said, "We just talked about how different high school football is to college football, plus what it's like academically. He said everything is easy if you just work hard and go 100 per- cent every day, especially with academics, because football will always be there." Wyman may have already known Fair- son-Walden, but this was his first oppor- tunity to really get to know wide receivers coach Josh Gattis. "We talked about what I wanted to major in, my grades and high school football," Wyman said. "He used to play football in North Carolina. I like the fact that he's from North Carolina and he can relate to where I come from." So far, Wyman has also been able to visit Clemson, Kentucky, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Ohio State, South Carolina and Virginia Tech. This season, he recorded 16 receptions for 431 yards and five touch- downs at Dudley High. R Y A N   S N Y D E R | S N Y D E R 4 2 0 8 8 @ G M A I L .
