Date Posted: 13:53:29 05/10/14 Sat Penn State's Class of 2015 grew once again on Saturday, as Washington (D.C.) St. John's defensive back Ayron Monroe made the call to head coach James Franklin. Monroe will play safety at Penn State. The 6-foot, 197-pound prospect chose the Nittany Lions over Maryland, where his older brother Andre is a senior defensive lineman. He also had offers from Auburn, Boston College, Georgia Tech, Iowa, Mississippi State, Nebraska, Toledo and Virginia. "I'm really excited. It was a close decision between Maryland and Penn State," he said. "Maryland didn't do anything wrong. It's a good school and they've got a good thing going on right now, but I just felt that Penn State was a better fit. Also, I just wanted to go on a different path that my brother is on." Monroe took visits to Penn State in Feburary, March and April, and felt a connection with the Nittany Lions' new staff. "It's just the good relationship that I have with the staff, the good academics and the great environment up there," he said. The three-star prospect is the second safety commitment in the class, joining Connecticut junior Jarvis Miller. "They want me to come in and play safety and know that next year they'll have Adrian [Amos] leaving for the draft," he said. "I know they have one, maybe two more safeties graduating. I know that I'll be able to come in that year and compete for the spot and contribute as a freshman." Monroe is the No. 10 player in Washington, D.C., and the No. 57 safety overall according to 247Sports. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
