Penn State is set to host many of its top overall targets next weekend in Class of 2019 for the game against Michigan.

Two notable prospects that'll be in attendance are Florida DB Myles Bell and Georgia DB DJ Turner.

A three-star prospect, Bell, who plays at St. Thomas Aquinas in Ft. Lauderdale, visited Penn State this past summer. Since then, he's built a strong relationship with defensive back coach Terry Smith.

"Coach Smith, Coach Justin King and Coach Sanders all talk wit me," said Turner. "Me and Coach Smith talk just about every week, but I still keep up with Coach King and Coach Sanders, too. I actually met everyone back in the summer. They're great people.

"I took a tour of the campus and got to try on the uniform and all of that this summer. The whole thing was great."

Bell added, "Right now, (Penn State) stand number one for me, but then again, I don't want to rush anything, so I'm going to take my time with my decision. But right now, they're number one!"

As for Turner, he's been on campus twice already, once last season and then again this past summer.

"I talk with Coach Smith and Coach Franklin the most. We've been talking a couple times a week. The thing I like most about their coaches is that they make you feel apart of their family. They have also been honest with me throughout the recruiting process."

Despite holding a three-star rating, Turner now holds verbal scholarship offers from programs like Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Michigan, Notre Dame, Oklahoma and many others.

Below are highlights of each player. First is Bell, second is Turner.
