Of the five, Stokes is the first to shut down his recruitment so soon after committing. Penn State fans have plenty of reason to be excited.
Stokes (6-foot-2, 190 pounds) is a dual-threat who put up more than 3,100 yards of total offense and 28 touchdowns, helping Nease to a regional final in his junior season.
In the past year, Penn State has had three high-caliber quarterbacks commit. Drew Allar (five-stars) and Beau Pribula (three-stars) are already signed, and now, Stokes has made his signing all but official more than eight months out from the big day.
