National Signing Day 2013: Welcome to Penn State, Garrett Sickels

Garrett Sickels' LOI was faxed at 7:03 AM. He's officially the first one... #PennState

Garrett Sickels became the first official member of the Class of 2013, faxing in his Letter of Intent three minutes after the signing window opened up this morning.

Sickels, a defensive end prospect out of New Jersey, gave Penn State his verbal commitment back in March after garnering offers from schools ranging from Rutgers to Florida. While being a defensive line prospect, Sickels can play as a stand-up outside linebacker as well. Sickels was named a U.S. Army All-American for the 2012 season.

In addition to being a great on the field talent, this photo of him from the Rivals site shows he could be the hair replacement for Shane McGregor that Penn State needs at this time.
