Under Armour All-America Game
All of the prospects have arrived in Florida for the Under Armour All-America game, which will take place on January 2, 2016.
Four Penn State commits are in attendance. Michal Menet (OT), Shane Simmons (WDE), Ellison Jordan (DT) and Miles Sanders (RB) are all out to prove that they are some of the very best players at their positions. We will try our best to use this as an open thread/running diary of sorts to keep track of everything these guys do that gets published on Twitter/Instagram/wherever else, so be sure to check back from time to time. If you see anything we miss, feel free to tweet it at myself, Matt, Noel or Bill, or just drop it in the comments section.
Tre Nixon, Jordan Fuller among those Miles Sanders is trying to bring with him to #PennState. (VIP) https://t.co/xM77JnLCkN @247Sports

Penn State commit Shane Simmons picked off a screen pass in a walk through somehow. His name will come up a lot this week.

The first practice of the week is in the books, and we would like to introduce you to Shane Simmons, destroyer of worlds (and offensive tackles).

No one blocked Penn State commitment Shane Simmons all day during 1v1s. One of the under armour standouts for me. #pennstate #psu

Luke Stampini at 247 has a full recap of the day with tidbits on all four of PSU's verbal commitments in Florida.
New Offers
Penn State has sent out two new offers over the past few days. The first went to Clairton, PA wide receiver Aaron Mathews. He previously had a top three of Pitt, Toledo and West Virginia, but an offer from Penn State has thrown that plan out of balance. If I were a betting man, I'd say he ends up in Happy Valley.
Blessed to say I've received an offer from Penn State University!! #WeAre @RivalsFriedman @WPIAL_Insider ⚪️ pic.twitter.com/3QcEpKSW78

The other offer went out to 2018 wide receiver Jahan Dotson (Nazareth, PA). Dotson had an outstanding season in 2015, accumulating 66 receptions for 1,179 yards and 16 touchdowns...as a sophomore.

Sean Clifford Recruiting
Penn State's 2017 quarterback commit, Sean Clifford, took to Twitter in an attempt to get four-star 2017 defensive tackle Fred Hansard to Happy Valley.
