The Nittany Lions received a pair of verbal commitments for the class of 2009 this week.
On Tuesday, Malcolm Willis, a 6-foot-1, 185-lbs. safety from Lackey High School in Indian Head, Md. gave his pledge to Penn State. Willis has been clocked at 4.65 in the 40-yard dash and was a second-team all county and honorable mention all-conference at safety. He also lined up at quarterback for Lackey and was a first-team all-area signal caller. He'll join a pair of Lackey grads - A.J. Wallace and J.B. Walton - in Happy Valley. Maybe they'll be able to convince him to shorten his name to two initials.
Then during a Wednesday afternoon press conference in Philadelphia, St. Joe's Prep offensive lineman Mark Arcidiacono announced his decision to play for Penn State. The 6-foot-5, 285-lbs. offensive tackle turned down offers from Florida, Notre Dame, West Virginia and Rutgers to come to Happy Valley.
