By the middle of Sunday afternoon, it had doubled that total.
First, Penn State got a commitment from Tyrell Chapman, a three-star defensive back who had been signed to Matt Campbell and Iowa State.

Lucas punts for a great combination of distance and hang time. He hits a big-time D1 punt. His best ball measures 50+ yards, with 5.0+ hang time. Also an excellent kicker. Lucas does a great job on field goal. He hits a pure, accurate ball off the ground and easily has 55+ yard range. His kickoffs are strong, D1 ready. Lucas drives the ball deep into the endzone with 4.0+ hang time. I look forward to seeing what the future holds. Look for Lucas to dominate his senior year and beyond. The Navy All-American Bowl Punter is a fine young man who is always a great pleasure to work with. Strong combo prospect.”
At quarterback, Penn State now has Kase Evans, another former Iowa State singee.
A three-star recruit from Lexington Texas, Campbell spoke about Evans at Iowa Statems post signing day event.
“I would say, if you (asked), what is one of the great steals of this class, I got to go down there during our bye week and see the first round of the playoffs, and I think he threw for almost 300 [yards] and rushed for almost 200. It was an unbelievable performance,” Campbell said.
