Kenney opts to stay home

State College native Alex Kenney (no relation to tight ends coach Bill Kenney) told receivers coach Mike McQueary on Tuesday he'd be playing his college football within a five minute drive from his home, according to scout.com.

Kenney is the third WR to sign and 13th overall member in the class of 2010.

"I committed to Penn State," he told FightOnState's Mark Brennan. "It felt right to me and I made the decision. It feels great. Now I'm ready to get back with my high school team and work hard."

Kenney held offers from Boston College, Illinois, Virginia, Stanford, Pitt, N.C. State and others.

Here is the 2010 class thus far.

The Roster

Matt Fortuna is a sophomore majoring in journalism and a football reporter for the Collegian. He has previously covered the men's tennis, soccer and basketball teams. A traditionalist, he would like nothing more than to see Joe Paterno throw it back to his Brooklyn days and install the single-wing offense this season.

Nate Mink is a sophomore majoring in journalism and a football reporter for the Daily Collegian and a 5-foot-10 sesquipedalian from Allentown who has tried to grow facial hair for 20 years. Sadly, he has been unsuccessful thus far. He is anxious to get a new driver's license in September and hopes the bartenders at Zanzibar in Ann Arbor believe he's 21.

Wayne Staats is a junior majoring in journalism and history and is a football reporter for the Collegian. He previously covered the baseball and women's basketball teams. He never made it far playing competitive football, unless Nerf football in grade school counts.
