This last weekend was integral for the culture building and most importantly, roster building for the Penn State Nittany Lions. While Matt Campbell hosted most of the verbal commits in the class, it was the six who came who were undecided that he wanted to reach. Most of all, former commit Khalil Taylor, the four star wide receiver, is the apple of Penn State's eye and a guy they really want to get on board. However, a player who may have gotten lost amongst the names, a fours star linebacker who could look to elevate the Nittany Lions back to "LBU" status.
Case Alexander could be the next in a long line of Campbell-coached linebackers who see their stock rise throughout their careers. When looking at Penn State's current roster, you'll be hard pressed to fina a weak link that Campbell hasn't molded into one of the defensive unit's most pivotal players. Kooper Ebel and Cael Brezina are the leaders of what could be Penn State's best unit along with Tony Rojas returning from injury and sophomore riser Alex Tatsch.
What would make Campbell's recruitment of Alexander special is that should he commit, he would be Campbell's guy and Campbell's guy alone. The roots of Penn State's linebacking corps are still heavily linked with the James Franklin era ad both Ebel and Brezina are completed Campbell projects who he now entrusts in his new home. Alexander is another entity entirely, a four star recruit who could be Campbell's future prospects distilled into one player.
For LBU to continue, Case Alexander has to sign on to the project.
