The Penn State Nittany Lions landed one of the top secondary prizes in the 2018 recruiting class with the commitment of Isheem Young.

Young announced Tuesday he will join the Nittany Lions next season

Penn State head coach James Franklin appeared to reference the 4-star safety's commitment on Twitter:

Young is the fourth-best safety and the No. 45 player overall in the country, per Scout.

Young offers the total package for a safety, and he projects as an option at either of the two safety positions.

The Philadelphia native is skilled against the pass. He has the awareness and athleticism to hold his own in pass coverage, which will be a valuable asset when he's lined up against slot receivers and hybrid tight ends.
