Miner set to visit PSU

Penn State will host Wesley Chapel, Fla., defensive back Jordan Miner and his father for an unofficial visit this weekend.

A four-star prospect, Miner earned an offer from the Nittany Lions in October 2016. The Wiregrass Ranch prospect has been trying to visit State College ever since, but he was ultimately forced to cancel two previously scheduled visits for the game against Michigan State last season, as well as the Blue-White Game earlier this spring.

Over the past year, Miner has earned just shy of 30 scholarship offers, 10 of which have come from programs in the SEC - Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vanderbilt. However, he's grabbed the attention of schools all across the country, as Georgia Tech, Maryland, North Carolina, Oregon, Pitt and Wisconsin are a few other programs that have thrown their hat in the race.

Following the 2016 season, Miner took unofficial visits to Florida, Georgia Tech, North Carolina, N.C. State and Tennessee. He then visited Auburn and Georgia in the beginning of May.

At 6-foot-1, 180 pounds, Miner has primarily played cornerback in high school, but he could play safety at the Division I level. Last season he recorded 38 total tackles, including 6.5 for a loss of yards. Miner also broke up 12 passes, pulling in three interceptions.
