Breaking: Top Tight End Shocks Fans by Choosing Penn State, Snubbing Ohio State at Last Minute
The Nittany Lions coaching staff was influential in securing the commitment. Offensive coordinator and tight ends coach Taylor Mouser built a strong relationship with Currie during the recruiting process, and the prospect was impressed by how Mouser and head coach Matt Campbell feature tight ends in the offense. Currie studied their previous work at Iowa State and liked the versatility of the position in Penn State’s scheme.
Currie had originally committed to Virginia for both football and lacrosse before reopening his recruitment in March. He is also regarded as one of the nation’s best lacrosse players and a top-30 national prospect in that sport according to Inside Lacrosse. The Nittany Lions are confident his athletic background and change-of-direction ability will carry over well to tight end development, especially considering he only began playing football two years ago.
