In a move every bit as surprising as his commitment, Rivals250 defensive end Adam McLean decommitted from Penn State via Twitter on Tuesday night. The North Potomac (Md.) Quince Orchard star was one of the highest rated commitments for the Nittany Lions.
At 6-foot-1, 282 pounds, McLean was one of Penn State's most coveted recruits because of his high ceiling on the field and his ability to help recruit a number of players to Happy Valley. The four-star was heavily involved in the recruitment of Jonathan Holland, Ayron Monroe and a few other current Penn State commits.
McLean, who sustained a serious knee injury late in the season, was considering a number of schools early in his recruitment and had stated just days before committing to Penn State that he was not close to committing anywhere. Michigan State, Ohio State, Ole Miss, Nebraska and Pittsburgh were all seriously involved in McLean's recruitment in the spring.
In April, he committed to Penn State, but recently started to talk to other schools. McLean has visits scheduled to Washington State on Dec. 5, Ole Miss on Jan. 16 and Tennessee on Jan. 30. He has scheduled an official visit to Penn State on Jan. 23, but it remains to be seen if that visits remains in the books.
McLean has also been in touch with Texas, Texas A&M and a few other schools. Look for Ohio State to make another push with McLean. He is very close with new Buckeyes commit Matthew Burrell Jr. and McLean was trying to recruit Burrell to Penn State.
