Kolb: Lions in final three -

7/14

Offensive lineman Khamrone Kolb from Burke (Va.) Lake Braddock leaves no doubt about his interest in Penn State. In the end, his decision seems likely to come down to staying close to home or becoming a Nittany Lion.

Kolb has 10 scholarship offers, but has cut his list in half.

“I’ve narrowed it down to Penn State, Virginia, North Carolina, Connecticut and Virginia Tech,” Kolb said. “I’m going to try to narrow it down to at least three by the end of the summer. Then I will make official visits to those three, probably during the football season. Penn State and Virginia will be in my final three.”

CONTINUED....

Kurelic’s Comment: The more times Kolb gets to Penn State the better. He will make at least two more trips, an unofficial visit this month and an official visit at some point. I like the Nittany Lions’ chances at this point.

Kolb fourth in line? -

The Nittany Lions have commitments from three offensive linemen to this point. They would like to add at least one more they continue to pursue Khamrone Kolb from Burke (Va.) Lake Braddock.

The 6-foot-6 and 300-pound Kolb has been a varsity starter since the beginning of his sophomore season and has played every position on the offensive line except center. Kolb has also played tight end, but will play on the offensive line at the next level, likely as a tackle.

Kolb has 10 scholarship offers. In early July he told Nittany Network he had cut his list down to five: Penn State, Virginia, Virginia Tech, North Carolina and Connecticut.

By Sean Fitz. Khamrone talks about his return from the knee injury and says contact is still about two weeks away...thinks that he has his list down to PSU, Virginia, and Connecticut. Khamrone says he will definitely make a PSU home game but isn't sure which one....should also be visiting Virginia, just got the invite, but has yet to set up the visit.

In early August, offensive lineman Khamrone Kolb from Burke (Va.) Lake Braddock said he cut his list of 10 scholarship offers down to five: Penn State, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Connecticut and North Carolina.

Less than three weeks later, Kolb has again narrowed his choices.

“It is pretty much down to three schools,” Kolb said on Sunday evening. “It will be Penn State, Connecticut or Virginia.”

Kolb is torn between the three at this point.

By Jamie Oakes. Khamrone was fully cleared to participate this past Friday...estimates he got about 25-30 plays. He says it stood out that coaches from UVA were the first to see him as well as the first to call on September 1st, but says both PSU and UConn also called September 1st and suspects they'll be stopping by soon. Still focused on the same three schools but says Wisconsin has been showing interest and if they offered they would join his top three schools....also interested in UNC but says right now it is still those three schools.

By Sean Fitz. Khamrone now has a new top three of PSU, Wisconsin, and UConn...says it is pretty much down to those three and PSU still number one on his list. Says Wisconsin just offered about a week ago and that his family is from Wisconsin so it is kind of home in that sense. Taking an unofficial visit for the PSU-Minnesota game this weekend and an official visit to Wisconsin on October 31st.

By Sean Fitz. Khamrone committed to coach Joe Paterno just prior to his meeting with reporters after the Minnesota game....had heard players are treated great from both former players and current players, and says the vibe just felt right.
