The Rasheed Walker sweepstakes are over and the Nittany Lions are the winners. Walker chose Penn State over Ohio State which gave Franklin a key victory over a division rival.

Walker, from Waldorf, MD, is a 4-star Offensive Tackle and is ranked the number 3 prospect in the country at that position.  James Franklin has added another top 100 player as Walker checks in at number 47 nationally according to 247 Sports.  He is the third highest ranked player overall in Maryland.

Walker live-streamed his announcement on February 7th at around 12:30 pm EST from his high school gymnasium.

While Penn State may yet add another player to this years class Walker is certainly an explanation point on what is James Franklin’s highest ranking class to date.
