Four-star safety Isheem Young is no longer a member of Penn State’s 2018 recruiting class, according to reports.

According to 247Sports and PennLive.com, Young was dropped as a recruit following an arrest on a robbery charge that occurred at a Philadelphia WaWa in July. Young was arrested on Friday.

Young was arraigned on counts of robbery, conspiracy, firearms violations and related offenses, according to Philly.com. Bail was set at $150,000.

Young was ranked as a top 300 prospect in the 2018 recruiting class, and was considered a top 10 player from the state of Pennsylvania, according to 247Sports. Penn State’s class now has 21 members with Young no longer in the group.

The Nittany Lions still own the B1G’s second-best recruiting class, behind only Ohio State. They also rank fourth nationally with those 21 commitments.

Penn State still has one five-star recruit (Justin Shorter, WR) and 10 four-star prospects in the class.
