By M. Alkire. Penn State has offered joining Navy.

Despite the lack of early offers, there have been some very positive reports about this prospect. He would certainly be a quality addition to the OL.

Commit #1 for the class of 2009!

Welcome aboard, Mr. Howle!

A very solid pickup to start the recruiting class. Hopefully this will get the ball rolling and we can get some positive "mojo" heading into the summer.

From the PSU site.

North Carolina offensive lineman commits to the Nittany Lions before heading home. Penn State got "the duke" in this recruiting battle in part because his trip went so well.

Evaluation

You might ask "how" Ty Howle does it at offensive center? At just 6 foot 2 he is like a John Deere plowing the field with defensive linemen. Formidable base blocker that comes out of his stance determined to knock the noseguard or defensive tackle into the secondary. Churns feet and with low center of gravity, simply isn't satisfied until the defender is well out of the play or on his back. Defensive linemen are at a distinct disadvantage and cannot win the battle of low pads. Well coached and instinctive football player that is the field general for the offensive front. Stings the pass rusher on quick passes but has some trouble with deeper pass sets. Doesn't quite have the long arms need to keep defenders away from body but will fight to the end. Lower body strength is evident in his ability to power the enemy off the line of scrimmage; will really need to use hands as a weapon in pass pro. Needs to hit and recoil to keep pass rushers at bay. Fits in best with a program that likes to run the football. Because of stature, can only play center at the college level. Howle is a coach's dream; goes all out every play and a guy you can count on not blowing an assignment or letting up. Can become an all around lineman if he progresses at pass protection.

N.C. center PSU's first '09 recruit - poconorecord.com - The Pocono Record

Penn State's 2009 recruiting class is already taking shape.

The Nittany Lions picked up their first verbal commitment for next year's class when Bunn, N.C. center Ty Howle pledged to Penn State while on campus for a visit Monday.

"(Monday) morning, me and my dad and my mom were talking about it, because it's a family decision, and we were just talking about everything (and) I decided that I was going to commit to Penn State," Howle told BlueWhite Illustrated. "We got there (Monday) and I actually wore a Penn State shirt and kept my jacket zipped up during all of the academic meetings and stuff. So around 2 p.m. I went and talked to (Penn State defensive line) coach (Larry) Johnson and the strength coach, because I wanted to tell coach 'J' before I told anyone else because he was my recruiter."
