Today on twitter, Whitehall’s Saquon Barkley tweeted,” Committed to PSU.”

He’s the second member of Penn State’s Class of 2015 from Pennsylvania to commit this month. Archbishop Wood’s offensive lineman Ryan Bates committed earlier this month.

The 5-foot-11, 190-pound running back rushed for 1,500 yards and a single-season record 23 touchdowns. He caught 21 passes for 353 yards and three touchdowns.

He originally gave a verbal commitment to Rutgers last September. Other schools recruiting him are Boston College, Connecticut, North Carolina and Pittsburgh.

According to 247Sports.com, Barkley, a 2015 recruit is currently ranked the number 21 running back in the country and is ranked 7^th in Pennsylvania.

   Kid’s a stud. Penn State already has 4 verbals in the 2015 class:

   Ryan Bates OL Rivals 4 star 6-5 285 PA
   Saquon Barkley RB Rivals 4 star 5-11 190 PA
   Kamonte Carter ATHRivals 4 star 6-4 230 MD
   Jarvis Miller DB Rivals 3 star 6-2 185 CT

   So far shaping up to be very fine class. A couple big “gets” and it could be a monster class.
