Penn State Football

Penn State hosted nearly 50 recruits this past weekend including nine quarterbacks from five different states. While Christian Hackenberg and Ryan Burns are currently the only signal callers with offers from Bill O’Brien and his staff, players like Erie Cathedral Prep’s Damion Terry are still getting attention from Nittany Lions coaches.

“My visit went real well,” Terry said, the 6-foot-4, 210 pound dual-threat quarterback said. “I like Coach O’Brien a lot and the direction he has Penn State going. He’s a real good coach.” 

Terry threw for 1,450 yards and ran for another 314 in a spread option offense this past season but ran a pro-style offense as a sophomore. Erie Cathedral Prep lost in the first round of the PIAA AAA tournament in 2011.

Currently Terry holds no scholarship offers from any Division One schools but is getting calls from programs such as Boston College, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Iowa, Illinois, and West Virginia.

“My recruiting is going very well,” Terry said. “I’ve just been going to junior days and making my list for spring practices”

Terry says that Penn State hasn’t indicated if they’ll offer him a scholarship, but he isn’t in a hurry to make a decision just yet.

“I think I’m going to early in senior year or summer.” Terry said.
