The West Scranton, PA QB [Matt McGloin] who won two District 2 Class AAA titles along with Hubie Graham and Eric Shrive has accepted an offer to be a preferred walk-on at Penn State. He has been compared at the H.S. stage by some as a Tyler Palko/Drew Tate type of QB and obviously has an uphill battle to start over Clark & Devlin. Devlin is the states record holder for most passing yards in Pennsylvania H.S. history with 9,000 plus yards at Downington East [AAAA]...he was the #4 rated QB in the nation during the '06 class.
Matt McGloin has been West Scranton's starting QB for three years and has ended his H.S. career with 58 TD passes and 5,485 yards passing. I posted this NOT because this is some amazing revelation or that we are guaranteed to get Eric Shrive because his H.S. QB/teammate walked on at Penn State but because it certainly doesn't hurt Penn State's recruitment of Eric Shrive, having his H.S. QB at Penn State a year prior to him coming out. I look forward to McGloin hosting Shrive if he does indeed make an official visit sometime down the road.
