Penn State adds recruit on offensive line

Posted: April 15, 2012

Penn State has added another member to its recruiting class for 2013 with a verbal commitment from Hershey offensive lineman Andrew Nelson, according to recruiting websites.

Nelson, 6-5, 265, is the eighth member of Bill O'Brien's class and addresses a position of need. Penn State previously received a verbal from four-star offensive lineman Brendan Mahon, of Randolph, N.J.

Nelson, whose given first name is David, is not rated by the major scouting services, but has gotten a lot of recent attention.

He projects as a tackle for the Nittany Lions.

He also had offers from Missouri, Northwestern, Maryland, Temple and Pittsburgh.

Nelson reportedly grew up a Penn State fan and only received an offer over the weekend, but committed quickly.
