A 6-foot, 220-pounder, Brandon Beachum also held written offers from Florida State, LSU, Nebraska and Wisconsin. Many schools were recruiting him as a linebacker, but he figures to play running back for the Nittany Lions.
Beachum's Cardinal Mooney teammate, linebacker Michael Zordich, had previously committed to Penn State.
Scout.com was at Beachum's press conference so stay tuned to FightOnState.com for more coverage from the event.
