Alex Anzalone, one of the nation's most sought-after linebacker recruits, will choose where he'll play in college this weekend, according to his Twitter page.
The Reading Eagle has reported Anzalone's choice is down to three schools, with Penn State in the running along with Florida and Notre Dame. A Wyomissing native, Anzalone is listed as a four-star recruit and the 49th best player in the Class of 2013 by Rivals.com.
This weekend, Anzalone is in Beaverton, Ore. for Nike's "The Opening" -- a recruiting camp that features some of the top high school players from across the country. Parts of the camp are televised, and that's how Anzalone plans to let the world know where he intends to play college football.
In a tweet last Sunday, Anzalone said he will be announcing his decision either this Saturday or Sunday, and footage from the camp will be aired on ESPNU. "The Opening" will be broadcast July 6 from 8 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. and July 7 and 8 from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m., according to its official Twitter account.
Anzalone originally pledged to play at Ohio State under its new head coach Urban Meyer. But the 6-foot-3, 220-pound linebacker de-committed in early May.
As recently as June 28, Anzalone visited Penn State. If Anzalone goes with the local choice and commits to the university, he'll be the 15th player in head coach Bill O'Brien's 2013 class and its fourth linebacker.
