Penn State liked what they saw from Franks at the White Out camp in June. Matt Limegrover offered that day and Franks immediately put the Nittany Lions high on his list.
Franks bends well for a longer prospect and showed light feet in a camp setting. He has a basketball background, which is another thing that the staff liked about him. He has work to do on his upper body strength and will likely take a couple years to develop into a college tackle.
He comes from a top program in Baltimore that has developed some pretty good linemen over the years as well.

Penn State picks up commitment from OL Franks

Baltimore (Md.) Gilman offensive tackle Zachary Franks is the newest Nittany Lion. The Class of 2019 prospect made his intentions known on Thursday afternoon, just a few days after visiting campus for the Lasch Bash recruiting barbecue. All 12 predictions on the 247Sports Crystal Ball were cast in favor of the Nittany Lions.
The 6-foot-6, 290-pound prospect earned an offer from the Nittany Lions at camp in June and recently named a top four of Penn State, Duke, Northwestern and Rutgers. He also had scholarship offers from Arizona, Baylor, Boston College, Cal, Kentucky, Louisville, Maryland, Nebraska, Ole Miss, Princeton, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, UCF, Vanderbilt, Virginia, Yale and others. He took a spring official visit to Northwestern.

Let's create a new rule. Posters are allowed to discuss whatever they want as long as a portion of the message is dedicated to Penn State football recruiting.
I'll start.
BTW, BWI really seems to have stepped up its twitter game of late. Keep up the good work.

23-24 will be in the 19 class,
Mark Richt kept our numbers between 75-80 because he llked rewarding walkons with a schorlarshp their sr year if they had been part of the program 4-5 years. We had a few leave early for the draft, 3-4 give up football for various reasons and 3-4 transfer. One of the 26 in the 18 class didn't make it in.
Kirby doesn't do the walkon thing, he is keeping the roster numbers at 85.
I wonder if that will influence a certain 2020 WR recruit....
You know that was the plan and I'm sure Gattis orchestrated this.

COMMIT
Zachary Franks commits
to Penn State Nittany Lions
ZACHARY FRANKS
BALTIMORE, MD (GILMAN)
- OT
- 6-6

Really liked his film. Moves well and gets good leverage. As solid as any other OL recruit.
Franks and Beans. A silly joke I believe.
Aw Jeez. Can’t believe I missed that.
247 story says almost half (7) the current recruiting class plan to enroll in January.
Roberson, Johnson, Jr., Simmons, Smith, Rudolph,
Wilson, and Ellis.

I think Aug 1-31 is another Recruiting dead period which makes Franks commitment a little unexpected.. Can one of the board recruiting thread experts confirm the "dead" period and that
a dry spell is likely?? thanks love this thread.

Ole Miss still doing Ole Miss things with 27 verbals
Someone recently said I wasn’t an expert, but I’ll answer. I believe you are correct about the dead period but incorrect in the dry spell. Whigan might decide before the season. I think we gained at least 1 at Lasch Bash that wasn’t announced yet, maybe 2
Yes. it is a dead period. Dry spell? Hard to say. Face to face contact is prohibited, but coaches and prospects can still communicate.

“They were telling me that I’m the missing piece to the puzzle and that I could truly benefit coming to State College,” Whigan told 247Sports' Sean Fitz, adding he may not wait much longer to make a decision.

A close family friend of the Hollenbachs is my neighbor. Neighbor has been a Bama fan forever and said he and SH's dad (who thinks SH is worthy of a schollie from Bama, not just a PWO) both claim that "if Nick Saban asks to to come play for him, you go". Both of these dads are willing to pack up and move if need be (Hollenbach moved to SC after his freshman year I believe, my neighbor uses a friends address in the next town so his kid could transfer), they send their kids to every camp you cam imagine and always try to schmooze over the staff.
So while the kid may be a decent prospect I almost think it was the dad making him do it after being enamored with talking to Saban.
Rhodas Johnson out of OH. Any thoughts on this kid. Looks like he is a Wisky lean but some PSU heat?
Looks like a beast to me.

I’d think the pecking order is Harrison, Issac, Hunte, Smiley, etc...
