The Nittany Lions hosted one of their top in-state targets on Wednesday as Harrison City (Pa.) Penn-Trafford offensive lineman Luke Graham was in State College. Graham and his father - a Penn State graduate - visited together.

Scout.com: Graham Has Tremendous Upside
3/30
By Dale Grdnic. Bob Lichtenfels calls Graham a specimen, as he had a 75-inch wingspan, 1.7 10 yard split and 4.89 40 at 6'5 245. Graham has written scholarship offers from Pittsburgh, Illinois, Duke, Maryland, Northwestern, and Florida International, as well as a verbal offer from PSU. Graham talks about Pitt, upcoming track season, and trying to work everything into his plans (visits, combines, camps).

Offensive lineman Luke Graham from Harrison City (Pa.) Penn-Trafford is no stranger to Penn State.
Graham has been to State College many times, so his visit over the weekend to see the Blue-White Spring Game was nothing new.
But that doesn’t mean things did not go well.

HMMMMM....still no written offer. I THINK we may miss out on this kid by waiting too long, and that is too bad because I really thought he was the best OLineman we were in on for '10.

Class of 2010
Pennsylvania’s Top Seniors
By Chris Dokish
For those of you who follow our yearly rankings, you may have noticed that the Top 50 has become the Top 25. The reason for this is because of the lack of depth in the state. It's become more difficult to find 50 prospects yearly that are at a high-major level. For that reason, we have decided to just report on the very best the state has to offer.
While the depth is not what it used to be in a state that has seen its population plunge over the last few decades, there is still some excellent talent out there. You may notice, however, that there are really only two prospects who received attention from the high level programs around the country. This is a significant drop from past seasons.
Lastly, as we always try to do, we do our best to leave out "scout talk," hyperbole and biases. We try to speak as bluntly, and accurately, as possible, while still remembering that these are high school kids we're talking about.

16. Luke Graham, Penn-Trafford HS (HarrisonCity) OG- At 6'5" and 245 pounds, he obviously has to add a lot of weight. Gets pushed around some now because of his weight disadvantage. Very athletic for a lineman, and he has to make sure he keeps most of that athleticism as he gets bigger. He has a great wingspan. Graham committed to PENN STATE over offers from Pitt, Florida State, Maryland, Duke, Stanford, Virginia, Syracuse, Illinois and Northwestern. Bottom line- He is very raw and has a long way to go, but with his wingspan and athleticism, he could be a good player three or four years, and 60 pounds, down the road.

Rivals.com Football Recruiting - Ask Jamie: Top-notch talent at DE

Ask Jamie: Top-notch talent at DE
Jamie Newberg
Recruiting Analyst
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.
