Blue White Illustrated

prospects: Cam'Ron Kelly of Chesapeake, Va.; Tyler Rudolph of Oaksdale, Conn.; and Marquis Wilson of Windsor, Conn. A;er they took o:cial visits to Penn State for the Blue-White Game, sources indi- cated that the Lions may be the team to beat for all three. Wilson, who's ranked No. 220 overall, appears to be the most likely of member of that trio to sign with Penn State. As for Rudolph and Kelly, both have made it clear they're also very interested in Clemson, so that could play a role in when they decide. At safety, the Lions sit in a good position with Rivals100 prospect Lewis Cine, but he also made the decision to move to Texas in February so that he could train daily with Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders. We expect Cine to return to Penn State this summer when he comes home – his parents still live in Everett, Mass. – but he's now attracting interest from many of the best programs in the South. If there's one safety to watch closely, it's junior college prospect JaQuan Brisker. Like Whigan, Brisker attended Lack- awanna College in Scranton. He grew up in Monroeville, Pa., playing at Gateway High School, where current cornerbacks coach Terry Smith coached from 2002- 12. Smith had already le; Gateway to begin his college career when Brisker en- rolled as a freshman, but he did coach Brisker's older brothers, so his family feels comfortable with Smith and the en- tire Penn State coaching sta9. There are also two players who are set to take o:cial visits to Penn State in early June, including the nation's top-ranked tight end, Hudson Henry. A native of Lit- tle Rock, Ark., Henry is set to be on cam- pus June 1-2. It will be his 8rst visit to Penn State. He's been speaking to tight ends coach Tyler Bowen about once a week and has also developed a good rela- tionship with o9ensive coordinator Ricky Rahne. Henry is the younger brother of Hunter Henry, a former Arkansas tight end who now plays for the Los Angeles Chargers. Another brother, Hayden Henry, currently plays at Arkansas. That's why many believe the Razorbacks are the team to beat, but Hudson Henry has said he's open to taking a di9erent path. The following weekend, June 8-9, Penn State will host four-star quarterback Michael Johnson Jr. Since Taisun Phom- machanh committed to Clemson and Garrett Shrader to Mississippi State, the sta9 has been forced to go outside of its normal recruiting territory to 8nd the second quarterback that it covets. John- son resides in Eugene, Ore., where his fa- ther, Michael Johnson Sr., serves as wide receivers coach for Oregon. Penn State was one of eight programs that Johnson recently announced as his top schools. Arizona State, LSU, Miami, Nebraska, North Carolina State, Oregon and Texas A&M also made the cut. ■ CLASS OF 2019 NAME POS HT WT RATING HOME SCHOOL Keaton Ellis CB 6-0 160 ★★★ State College, Pa.
