Penn State Recruit of the Week: Dorian Johnson

Dorian Johnson is one of the top players in the state of Pennsylvania, and is the top offensive tackle, if not the top PLAYER, on Penn State's board.
He has offers from powerhouse programs like Notre Dame, Alabama and Wisconsin, but has narrowed his choices down to Ohio State, West Virginia, Pitt and Penn State. Pitt was once thought to be the favorite, but Dorian told me last week that "Pitt and Penn State are basically neck and neck at this point."
Distance is a big factor for Dorian as he wants to remain close to his mother and four sisters. That will factor heavily into his decision and is a big reason why Pitt is at the top with Penn State.
Dorian has visited both schools several times, including visits in back to back weekends to Penn State back in April. He recently visited Pitt for what is likely the last time and will be in State College this weekend for a final Penn State visit.
He intends to announce his decision later this month, or in early July.
