Malvern Prep four-star defensive end Jackson Ford committed to Penn State over Ohio State and Michigan last week. His coach explained why.

Michigan landed a commitment on Sunday afternoon from four-star edge rusher Carter Meadows, who chose the Wolverines over Big Ten rivals Penn State and Ohio State. Meadows' pledge also helped Michigan jump past Penn State for the No. 9 spot in 247Sports' Team Composite Recruiting Rankings .

Penn State recruiting scored big with Minnesota tight end Pierce Petersohn, who joined on Wednesday. Defensive end Jackson Ford, one of the most highly-rated Pennsylvania players, committed on Friday. Both are four-star recruits and considered two of the most promising at their positions, nationwide.
