Penn State Football Lands Commitment Of Sean Clifford’s Brother, Liam

Penn State football earned a verbal commitment from three-star athlete Liam Clifford, the younger brother of current Penn State starting quarterback Sean Clifford, on Sunday afternoon.

The younger Clifford has a host of offers from big-name schools, including Michigan, Michigan State, and Tennessee. He’s the second member of the 2021 recruiting class to commit to the Nittany Lions during this White Out weekend and the third in James Franklin’s 2021 class overall.

Although his older brother is a signal-caller, Liam is a 6’1″, 195-pound wide receiver. He plays his high school ball at St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati, Ohio, which is where Sean spent his high school career. Liam was in town to watch Penn State beat Michigan 28-21 in the 2019 White Out — a game in which his older brother scored four touchdowns — on an unofficial visit.

In addition to this past weekend, Clifford unofficially visited Penn State during the team’s 45-13 victory over Buffalo in week two of this season. He received an official offer from James Franklin’s program on June 9.

The two Clifford brothers playing together for Penn State is still very much possible. If Liam ends up signing his letter of intent with the Nittany Lions, he’ll join the team ahead of the 2021 season, which would be Sean’s final year of NCAA eligibility.
