Linebacker Mike Hull Commits For 2010

With over two months until National Signing Day for the 2009 recruiting class, Penn State picked up its first commitment for the class of 2010. According to BWI, legacy linebacker Mike Hull, from Canonsburg, PA, committed to Penn State during his unofficial visit for the Michigan State game. Even though most recruiting services do not evaluate recruits until the summer following their Junior year, Hull is already ranked by Rivals.com on its top 250 list of Juniors to watch.

For its 2009 class, Penn State has already received one commitment from New Jersey middle linebacker Glenn Carson, and hopes to receive a commitment from all-everything Jelani Jenkins, who has drawn early comparisons to LaVar Arrington for his closing speed, athleticism, and hard-hitting mentality. Jenkins would be considered, by many, to be the crown jewel of Penn State's 2009 class.

Penn State loses one linebacker following this year, Senior Tyrell Sales, and only one linebacker following the 2009 season, All-American candidate Sean Lee. With commitments from Carson and Hull already in the fold, if Jenkins chooses LinebackerU, Penn State may be done recruiting linebackers until its 2011 class.
