Hawley (Pa.) Wallenpaupack Class of 2016 linebacker Rashawn Battle took in Penn State's White Out on Saturday. Though the Nittany Lions came up short against Ohio State, he still appreciated the experience.

"It was a great game," he said on Sunday. "[The atmosphere] was one of the best in college football. It was insane."

Battle has a scholarship offer from Rutgers in hand and he's hoping to gain another from Syracuse when he visits there next. He's also receiving interest from Boston College, Missouri, Pittsburgh, Virginia and West Virginia.

He said that Penn State was the first school to show interest in him. He previously visited for the spring game in April and saw the Nittany Lions win at Rutgers earlier this year.

"They like my film," he said. "I get a lot of mail from them."

Battle will likely head down to Rutgers again next weekend when the Scarlet Knights host Wisconsin.

This season, the 6-foot-2, 220-pound prospect has recorded 31 tackles, 2.5 sacks and two tackles for loss for the 5-4 Buckhorns.

Offers from Pitt, RU and Syracuse.

When he got his RU offer Flood did it with the old helicopter entrance.

Say it ain't so.

Someone should go down there and spray paint the helicopter orange.

Usually Rutgers will spell your name with a factory smoke stack, or so I've heard.

You sure that isn't smoke and mirrors.

I'm in. To do this, we'll need to get 5-6 people together to go at once because helicopters are huge and we wouldn't have a significant amount of time to execute against this. Maybe we can just pool money and pay one of the NYC graffiti guys to do something really damn cool.. like War Damn Otto on that 'copter!

I thought the NCAA banned them from recruiting practices.

I thank any prospect who gives me an excuse to reference Fyvush Finkel in an article: http://.com/su-makes-top-5-for-rashawn-battle/

I hate Syracuse.com. They frame everything in the worst possible way. "Only" single digit offers. BS.

I look forward to the column they release about how 36% of SU's football players have a GPA under 3.0, given how they like to phrase things.

Tier 1 guy. This one hurts.

 

[Marroniac]

Oh well. He only had single digit offers. No big deal.

I wouldn't say no big deal. But I think we're about to get two LB commits in the next couple weeks, so we should be fine.

Zachary Kastenhuber and Dymelle Parker are my two guesses. I think we're in excellent shape with both.
