As college football teams across the country come to the conclusion of their spring practices, more and more players are scheduling their official visits for the summer.
That’s certainly been the case with James Franklin‘s Penn State Nittany Lions.
On Monday, two highly rated juniors announced their plans to make a summer visit to State College in order to get a better knowledge of the Penn State program.
The first player to publicize his plans was 2025 4-star defensive end Cedric Works from Northmont High School in Clayton, Ohio. Rivals.com rates Works as the No. 10 overall junior in Ohio and one of the Top 20 defensive ends in the country.
Works (6’4″, 225) has an offer list that includes Boston College, Cincinnati, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan State, Missouri, Pitt, Purdue and West Virginia.
Works will make his visit from May 31st till June 2, and this is his first announced official visit.
