Penn State's Class of 2018 is well-represented in the most recent Rivals250.

Following yesterday's release of the Rivals100, which featured big moves for WR Justin Shorter (No. 43 overall) and RB Ricky Slade (No. 56 overall), 10 additional future Nittany Lions earned a spot in the Top 250.

Five of those prospects fell between No. 101 - No. 150. TE Zack Kuntz now sits just outside of the Rivals100, at No. 104 overall. Saf. Isheem Young moved up two spots, to No. 112, while OL Nana Asiedu sits at No. 114. TE Pat Freiermuth and DT PJ Mustipher also sit in the top 150. Freiermuth fell just two spots to No. 119, while Mustipher fell one spot to No. 145.

DE Dorian Hardy and LB Nick Tarburton earned a spot between No. 151 - No. 200. Hardy moved down just two spots to No. 156 overall. However, Tarburton, who was originally in the Rivals100, fell 99 spots to No. 193 overall.

Penn State has three other players that have already committed inside the Rivals250. WR Daniel George moved up seven spots to No. 221, while OL Antwan Reed moved down seven spots to No. 229. CB Trent Gordon also fell just a few spots to No. 240 overall.

In addition to DE Micah Parsons, OL Rasheed Walker and DT Tyreke Smith, who were all included in yesterday's Rivals100, there are also handful of prospects that Penn State is still pursuing in the most recent rankings. DE Jayson Oweh is the most notable of those targets. Not only is he one of just a few players that could commit tomorrow if he chose to do so - as of now, Oweh is planning to announce at the Under Armour All-America Game - but the New Jersey native also made a big jump in the latest rankings, moving up 38 spots to No. 179 overall.

As of now, Penn State is focused on Oweh, Parsons, Smith and Walker to finish out their class, but there are a two other players to note if the staff were to miss out on those four. WR Jahan Dotson sits at No. 135 overall, while Saf. Kwantel Raines sits at No. 224 overall.
