Hackenberg Will Stay With Penn State

Posted: Updated:

There was good news for Penn State football fans on Sunday, as Fork Union Military quarterback Christian Hackenberg says he'll keep his commitment to play football for the Nittany Lions.

The FUMA QB is the top-ranked pocket passer in the ESPN Top 150 rankings, and one of a number of PSU recruits who say they'll keep their commitment to the school.

Penn State will not be able to play in a bowl game until the 2016 season.
