Overview
James Franklin wasn’t messing around with offensive line recruiting. Penn State currently has four offensive line recruits for the 2023 class and five coming in for next season.
The run game struggled this past season, but a big reason for that was the inconsistency of the offensive line.
Nourzad was a part of an extremely successful offensive line, where he earned Ivy League Offensive Lineman of the Year. His talent will have an immediate impact on Penn State‘s offense.
Franklin had his eyes on Nourzad once he hit the transfer portal in November. Nourzad Took an official visit a Penn State a few weeks back in January before announcing his commitment on Monday.
