Pat intends to make his decision in August and has visits scheduled for Miami(FL) and Florida, but nothing is certain. He seemed to like Penn State on his recent visit.

Penn State just got a commitment from Brett Brackett, a QB from New Jersey. That may hurt them in the Devlin sweepstakes.

From Rivals100.com...Devlin is looking at Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina State, Pitt, Miami, Penn State, Minnesota, Michigan State, Iowa, Illinois, Purdue, Michigan. He will visit Michigan this weekend and Miami in June. He plans to take some more visits this summer and commit before the season starts.

Just curious as to why this kid gets updates on BP, I don't see any interest in OSU?


My guess is that OSU tried early but was unsuccessful?

From Rivals100.com...Devlin was rated the top QB at the Elite College Combine. He has offers from Miami (FL), Maryland, UNC, Syracuse, Ole Miss, Virginia, Penn State, Pitt, Toledo, Oregon, Purdue, NC State and Michigan State among others.

What I thought was interesting about this article was the fact that many have noticed about what a decent job Zook has been doing at Illinois lately. Well, one of the people Devlin took a phone call from recently was former Texas QB Major Applewhite, who is recruiting Devlin for Zook and Illnois. Not a bad hire on Zook's part at all...

Penn State may have moved down on Devlin's list due to a recent verbal from another quarterback.

Recruiting: Top QB considering shift to Penn State

Sunday, January 22, 2006
By Mike White, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette


As football recruiting heads down the home stretch, Pitt is trying to get a few top high school players out of Florida, while Penn State is trying to keep a record-setting Pennsylvania quarterback from playing college ball in Florida.
Pat Devlin, of Downingtown East High School near Philadelphia, is one of the top quarterbacks in the country and made a verbal commitment to the University of Miami in July. But he has had a change of heart and is looking at other schools. One of them is Penn State.
Devlin (6 feet 4, 205 pounds) is on an official visit to Penn State this weekend. He also might look at Virginia. Devlin is the all-time leading passer in Pennsylvania history with 8,162 yards.
Penn State is having a strong recruiting year. Some recruiting gurus believe the Nittany Lions have a top 10 class. Getting Devlin might push them close to the top five.
Pitt is a finalist for three Florida players -- defensive end Audie Augustine of Northeast High, defensive end Geno Atkins of St. Thomas Aquinas and quarterback Thaddeus Lewis of Miami Lakes.
Pitt's best shot might be at Augustine, who is visiting Pitt this weekend.
"It's come down to North Carolina State and Pitt," Northeast coach Adam Ratkevich said. "Ever since last spring, Audie has been very impressed with coach [Dave] Wannstedt.
"Pitt already got [a commitment from] Jared Martin in this area. He's probably the best defensive tackle in Broward County. By most people's account, Audie is the best defensive end in the county. That would be two nice players for them."
Pitt has commitments from 22 players. The Panthers are battling Auburn, Georgia, North Carolina State and Michigan State for Atkins. He is visiting Michigan State this weekend.
Pitt, South Florida, Duke and TCU are the finalists for Lewis.
Pitt also is in the running for receiver-defensive back Aaron Berry of Bishop McDevitt High School in Harrisburg. West Virginia and Minnesota are his other choices.
Penn State is in the running for some linemen who are ranked high nationally.
Phil Taylor of Clinton, Md., will announce his decision next week, and Penn State is the leader. Maryland, Virginia Tech, Florida and Ohio State are a few of his other top choices.
Antonio Logan-El of Forestville, Md., will announce his decision next week and most likely will choose between Penn State and Maryland. But he also is considering Florida, Tennessee and Oklahoma.
Defensive end Johnnie Troutman of Browns Mills, N.J., will probably choose between Penn State and Ohio State.
In Western Pennsylvania recruiting, two top players who have yet to make decisions are Duquesne receiver-defensive back Elijah Fields and Woodland Hills receiver Wesley Lyons. Fields is visiting West Virginia this weekend. He has been to Pitt and Penn State.
Lyons will most likely choose between Ohio State and West Virginia.
The national signing day is Feb. 1.
