In a race where seemingly everything was going wrong for the Nittany Lions, they may have received a slight boost. Four star QB Peter Bourque was originally projected to go to the Nittany Lions, but after several changes of mind, he could be back in Penn State's good graces. Now, what seemed like a fight between Georgia and Virginia Tech has turned into a three horse race.
Luckily for Penn State fans, today is the day that Bourque will make his decision and potentially determine what Penn State will do at the QB position in this cycle. Should they land him, it will be a major boost to their long term success and a big win for the program over an SEC powerhouse and a former head coach. If they don't secure his signature, then all eyes will turn to the other four star prospect of Penn State's interest, Will Wood. That could prove to be a much easier race as the Blue and White need only worry about Boston College.
While Bourque is the No. 1 recruit in the state of Massachusetts and is more highly coveted, Wood would be a nice contingency plan. It certainly feels as if Matt Campbell and Co. are starting to throw all their eggs into the Wood basket, but Bourque could just as easily have another change of heart today.
