Penn State football receives three verbal commitments on the same weekend
The Nittany Lions increased their number of verbal commitments in the class of 2020 to 11 adding wide receiver Jaden Dottin of Suffield, Conn., and junior college defensive back Ji'Ayir Brown.
Penn State received its third verbal commitment to the Class of 2020 this weekend when defensive tackle Fatorma Mulbah announced Saturday on Twitter that he would play his college football with the Nittany Lions.
The Lions received two verbal commitments on Friday — 6-foot-3, 185-pound wide receiver Jaden Dottin of Suffield, Conn., and 6-foot, 205-pound defensive back Ji’Ayir Brown of Trenton, who plays for Lackawanna College in Scranton.
The 6-3, 270-pound Mulbah, who attends Susquehanna Township High School in Harrisburg, announced his commitment by tweeting a photo of his family with head coach James Franklin, defensive coordinator Brent Pry, and defensive line coach Sean Spencer. He is ranked three stars by Lions247.com and is the No. 6 prospect in Pennsylvania. He also received offers from Temple, Army, and Navy.
Dottin, who announced his commitment on Twitter, is rated the third-best player in Connecticut by 247Sports. He caught 29 passes for 593 yards and six touchdowns last season for Suffield Academy. He also had offers from Michigan, Purdue, Duke, Boston College, Pittsburgh, and Syracuse.
Brown’s commitment was reported by both Rivals and 247Sports. He played in the same defensive backfield as Jaquan Brisker, who signed with Penn State in December.
The addition of the three players gives the Nittany Lions 12 players in their class of 2020.
