In-State CB Gleason Commits to Penn State

Pittsburgh Central Catholic cornerback Zachary Gleason has committed to Penn State, choosing the Nittany Lions over programs including Pittsburgh, West Virginia and Michigan State.

Gleason's decision was heavily influenced by Penn State's culture and proximity to home. 'It just felt right,' he told Rivals. 'Being close to home and having my family there means a lot to me.'

The new coaching staff under Matt Campbell also played a major role in his commitment. 'Coach Campbell is building something special,' Gleason said. 'They showed me how I fit and what I can become.' As a Pittsburgh native who grew up following Penn State, he's excited to contribute to the program's future.
