The Fourth of July weekend fireworks just keep on coming for James Franklin and Penn State football.
Four-star defensive lineman Zane Durant announced his commitment to the Nittany Lions Sunday afternoon on Instagram live.
After offensive lineman JB Nelson committed on Friday and linebacker Keon Wylie pledged on Saturday, Durant is the third commitment for Penn State’s Class of 2022 in three days.
Durant, who attends Lake Nona High School in Orlando, Florida, chose the Nittany Lions over Indiana, Miami, UCF, Auburn and USC among others. He totaled 40 tackles and 6.5 sacks his junior year, according to his MaxPreps profile.
According to 247sports, the 6-foot-1 250-pound lineman is a top-50 prospect in the state of Florida and a top-50 defensive lineman in the nation.
Durant’s commitment is another impressive addition to Penn State’s strong 2022 class. The Nittany Lions currently have the No. 2 recruiting class in the Big Ten and sit at No. 8 in the nation. With Durant’s commitment, it’s safe to say Franklin is on a bit of a summer hot streak.
