Ratings on the way When will Rivals.com rate Luke Graham and Thomas Ricketts?
-- William in Altoona, Pa.
-----
These two Penn State commitments are both offensive line prospects.
Graham, 6-5 and 260 pounds, plays offensive and defensive tackle. Graham, from Penn Trafford High School in Pennsylvania, could be a combo guy at the next level and play guard and/or tackle. He has a long frame and is quick off the ball. More important, he has great feet and moves well.
Ricketts, 6-6 and 265 pounds, is an offensive tackle prospect who plays offensive guard for North Allegheny High School in Pennsylvania. Like Graham, he moves exceptionally well. Ricketts gets off the ball quickly and is a dominant drive-blocker. He looks downright nasty on film.
I think they both have terrific upside and both have a chance to be very good offensive linemen for coach Joe Paterno in Happy Valley. Personally, I think Ricketts is a four-star and Graham is a four-star/high three-star prospect. Look for their ratings when Rivals.com updates the rankings later this month.
