  "account": "Penn State has secured the second running back commitment for their 2027 recruiting class, with three-star prospect Jordan Hall announcing his decision to join the Nittany Lions over Ohio State on Saturday, according to Rivals' Hayes Fawcett. Hall, previously committed to Miami (Ohio), reopened his recruitment on September 3 and opted for the Penn State program following a campus visit on October 10. Despite the team's loss to the USC Trojans, Hall was impressed by the experience. Standing at 5-foot-10 and weighing 200 pounds, Hall is ranked 64th among running backs nationally and 31st among Ohio players. Hailing from Cincinnati, Ohio, he overcame a junior season injury to excel as a senior, leading Princeton High School to a perfect 10-0 record. He has accumulated 1,179 rushing yards and 24 touchdowns so far this season. With this commitment, Penn State now boasts 22 players signed in its class, ranking it 22nd overall and 8th within the Big Ten according to Rivals.",
