Aside from Penn State, Pitt and West Virginia, Sieg holds an impressive offer list that includes Maryland, Minnesota, Michigan State, Missouri, Nebraska, Rutgers, Syracuse, USC and Wisconsin.
Earlier this week, Rivals.com National Recruiting Insider Adam Gorney had this to say about Gorney’s recruitment:
“A handful of programs have emerged as the front-runners for the McDonald (Pa.) Fort Cherry standout as Penn State and Wisconsin could end up battling it out with USC, Rutgers and West Virginia as the other programs to watch.
From suburban Pittsburgh, Sieg is closest to Morgantown but the Nittany Lions and the Badgers among others have definitely caught his attention as well.”
