Position Ranking: NR (12/20) - Rumors circulated earlier this week about Mornhinweg, but BWI has confirmed that he's still committed to Penn State. In an interview with his coach, Gabe Infante, earlier this week, he told BWI that he personally hasn't received much interest from other schools, but added that he believes it's realistc that schools have reached out to Mornhinweg's father, Mary Mornhinweg. Mornhinweg has no visits planned at this time, that has been confirmed. He beleives he'll be able to make it to PSU on Jan. 13, but that too isn't 100 percent certain.
