Awesome! Welcome to Penn State, Hakeem Beamon & Family!
Really sounds like a quality well-rounded human being. He will be a leader at PSU. Could end up at DT or could be a larger DE a la Buchholtz.
Spencer is building a monster program. We'll have to see how these guys develop, if they can stay healthy. But these last three years, this at least rivals the DL recruiting that LJ Sr. was doing from 2002-2010 when he was producing all-Americans almost every year.
Nothing more fun than having a dominant D-line. And no surer path to victory in the Big Ten-- as Ohio State knows.
BTW, this is now the top 3 players in Virginia -- in a really good year for Virginia football. I don't think PSU has ever done that before.

“Education and alumni [set Penn State apart], the combination of academics and football,” he told 247Sports prior to his announcement. “They really killed the Combine earlier this year and this class is doing something. Same thing with coach Franklin.”
Kentucky-you are in our sites.
Could be the white shoes, but in his film I really liked his footwork and blocking while playing TE. Are we sure he is destined to the defense? Beamon seems to like pushing his man back, and finding another after he's finished off the first man. This has been a team need even though we've placed some tight ends into the NFL for their receiving prowess.
The recruiting graphic (made by Penn State) that he tweeted out lists his position as defensive line. Things could always change, but it looks like the staff has him slotted as a future DT.
Also beginning to rival the dominating performance of Jim O'Hora's great PSU DL's from the mid-60's to the mid-70's: Mike Reid, Bruce Clark, Mike Hartenstine, Randy Crowder, Dave Rowe, Mike McBath, Matt Millen, Steve Smear, Bruce Bannon, Randy Sidler, Ron Coder, Jim Heller, Ron Crosby,
Franklin's going to recruit horses now? Well, he has been getting throroughbreds. Hmm...

Have a latte, Bob.
I think he might be too far down the list right now. If we miss out on Cine and Kelly, there’s a chance that there might be room for Porter - but it’s probably more likely that the staff stands pat with the DB commits they have now.
James Franklin ability to recall and connections set him apart in recruiting game. My brother was a backup Qb at Kutztown when James was a grad assistant there in the 90’s, so anyways my brother sees James walking to stadium on outskirts of tailgate area on a game day, my brother says what’s up? Coach Franklin asks my brother by name how he’s doing and recalls several members of that Kutztown team , sharing a few quick stories. My brother was amazed to say the least and like everyone says he gives you that look like you’re the most important person in his life at that moment. He’s Extremely Present in conversation and Sharp as they get. Happy to share this story
