Decision date set for Class of 2023 linebacker target, son of former Eagles LB
Penn State is in the thick of a notable recruiting battle for an in-state four-star linebacker, and a decision date has been set on the calendar for a commitment announcement. Four-star linebacker Josiah Trotter announced, via Twitter, that he will be committing to his school of choice on Friday, April 15 (his birthday).
Trotter previously updated his recruiting status by revealing his top five schools in late February. Penn State was among the five schools remaining in his recruiting process, along with Clemson, South Carolina, West Virginia, and Virginia Tech. Virginia Tech, of course, is currently coached by former Penn State defensive coordinator Brent Pry. Trotter’s older brother, Jeremiah Trotter Jr., signed with Clemson in 2021.
Trotter is among the top recruits from within Pennsylvania, which naturally makes him a top target for head coach James Franklin and his staff, including new defensive coordinator Manny Diaz.
Despite being so close to an announcement, there has yet to be a single crystal ball prediction made on 247Sports, so gauging a favorite to land Trotter appears to be pretty tricky with under two weeks to go until a decision is announced. But the On3Sports prediction machine, however, has West Virginia as an overwhelming favorite with a 90.2% chance of receiving Trotter’s commitment.
I will be committing on my birthday on April 15th!⏳
