Four-star DT recruit from Class of 2017 flips from Florida to Penn State

It’s been a heck of a couple days for the Nittany Lions.

Yesterday, the team not only clinched a spot in the B1G Championship with its win over Michigan State, but they also landed a top-50 recruit’s commitment from the Class of 2018.

Just one day later, Penn State has bolstered its class for next season. Four-star defensive tackle Fred Hansard was committed to the University of Florida, but went on an official visit to Penn State this weekend.

Following the Nittany Lions’ big day, came a change in heart from the No. 11-ranked defensive tackle recruit in his class according to 247 Sports.
