Grunkemeyer’s had quite a rise over this spring. His commitment to Penn State exactly a month after Penn State offered him.
Elite 11 president Brian Stumpf said Grunkemeyer was the eight QB to receive an invite thus far. There are 20 total slots. He was the only one to receive an invite amongst the QB’s that performed Sunday, May 21.
