Arrington is my favorite player over the years. I’m very happy his son committed.
Sounds like he could be slotted for LB or be used like Micah & Carter if he shows that ability. Anyone have insight on the competition he plays against?
Happy Valley Insider - Penn State Football lands 2025 legacy recruit Lavar Arrington II
Penn State Football adds a commitment from 2025 California athlete Lavar Arrington II from Charter Oak High School.
Who knows? I would think Rojas would be next up for #11, yet he might be gone (drafted) by the time Arrington, Jr plays. Like another poster wrote, #11 is earned, not given away.
I am three. However, he doesn't have his father's incredible athleticism, which was simply off the charts. Sr was a damn good RB and ran a 10.7 hundred meter. Time will tell how far from the tree this apple fell. Glad he is on board and hope he has the determination to make good on his academic and athletic potential.
Lavar was the best athlete I've ever seen at Penn State. And he was the best kick blocker I've ever seen. He was incredible and Sandusky used him well.
Am I the only one who isn't thrilled by this?
LaVar was elite and if junior is half as good as him that's a great get but this isn't a major signing and should have been a layup for the staff to get his commitment.
Just meh

Correct -- that you have seen. Mike Reid was so fast that he beat the Center's snap to the QB. AND he was a team player!
Great to get another Cali kid. With his name recognition he could help with recruiting from that state and more.
Agreed. He also left his teammates high and dry at their most difficult moment. Sick and tired of people trying to shove that under the rug or make excuses for him.
Yes, let's take one of the shining beacons of PSU football excellence, who is also a willing ambassador of the university and the football program, and crap on him.
B1G canceled the season. That wasn’t parsons fault
I'm not sure I get the layup part.
I don't think we had the space until mcclary decom for Rutgers.
Ridiculous--he did absolutely nothing wrong nor should he be criticized for it. Once the season was cancelled he moved on--as he should have
And....it was reported that both he and CJF were trying to get his eligibility restored once the BIG decided to play.
He may just want to become his own person and have his own jersey number.
Yes, you probably are. If you watched his film, which I’m guessing you didn’t, and you probably just looked at his star rating, you will see he has excellent quickness off the ball like his dad had, and he can get to the QB IN A HURRY! I see similar traits to Abdul Carter with his elite quickness at the line of scrimmage while blitzing. He is undersized, but has lots of room to develop and grow his body, which he will do when he gets into the PSU S&C program. This is a MAJOR signing for us, for multiple reasons. It’s huge for our recruiting down the road and in California as well. I’d MUCH rather take him over DJ McClary. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing what type of senior year Lavar II has.
A lot of tall kids don’t muscle up until they stop growing. In the next two years he will probably add twenty pounds of muscle. Could be a great one.
He is 6'3" so a good frame to add muscle. #65 ranked player in California. He also has the intangible of having a father who was a Penn State All American.
I would have preferred a different wording for your ending clause "Sandusky used him well" but it is difficult to write that name without somehow creating the risk of a double entendre.
The video in the article lists him at 6'4". He could easily put on 30 lbs and be a DE.
His father was an incredible athlete at 6' 3". I recall going to a PSU game LA's true freshman season. I didn't follow recruiting back then and after a kickoff turned to my brother and said "who is that?" You could see he was the best athlete on the field. He was just so fluid and fit. It all looked effortless. We looked at the roster and it said "LaVar Arrington from Pittsburgh North Hills High School." I noted he was a very good track sprinter in high school. He ended up being just under 6'4" and 250 lbs.

Maybe he starts with 39 and then "earns" 11? That was a good stepping stone # for Poz
I've watched his film and think you see his last name not just the film. It's not a mkorr signing. Getting a kid from California because he's a legacy doesn't help us in Cali.
You'd always rather have the guy we get than the one we didn't. I don't think either will have a major impact in college but time will tell.
The excitement here is the name not the film. Be real
