Wallace (6-feet, 180 pounds) is the 23rd player to commit to the Penn StateΒ 2023 recruiting class and the second running back, joining four-star London MontgomeryΒ (Scranton) who committed in July.
Wallace won Region Player of the Year this past season, rushing for 1,221 yards, 13 touchdowns and averaging 9.6 yards per carry, per MaxPreps.
Although heβs mainly a running back, Wallace has played multiple positions. Offensively, heβs spent time at receiver and quarterback. On defense, heβs played corner and heβs returned kicks on special teams. He returned a kickoff for a touchdown this past season and picked off two passes. Wallace also threw for 1964 yards and made 92 tackles, per MaxPreps. Wallace is a speedster, qualifying for states in the 200- and 100-meter dash.
He took an official visit to Penn State in November, the weekend of the schoolβs 30-0 win over Maryland at Beaver Stadium. As people could probably guess, Wallace enjoyed himself.
βIt was a really good visit,β Wallace told Blue White Illustrated afterward.
Wallace told BWI that Penn Stateβs coaching staff has βgreat personalities.β
βI never saw any negativity in anything they were saying,β Wallace said. βEverything they said was just the truth. Theyβre a very honest staff. It was really cool seeing everything there.β
Penn StateβsΒ now gotten four commitments in the past week. Three-star EDGE Joseph MupoyiΒ (St. Thomas More) committed last Monday, and fellow three-star DL Mason RobinsonΒ (Owings Mills, Maryland), committed the next day. Three days later, four-star linebacker Kaveion KeysΒ (Richmond, Virginia) committed. With Early Signing Day scheduled for Wednesday, Penn State has the No. 13 class in the county according to 247Sports.
