Penn State adds wide receiver/defensive back Derrick Thomas

Daily News Staff Report

Derrick Thomas, a wide receiver/defensive back from Greenbelt, Md., became the third recruit to give a verbal commitment to Penn State over the weekend, Blue White Illustrated reported. Thomas (6-foot, 177 pounds) reportedly also had scholarship offers from Pittsburgh, Illinois and Maryland, but committed to Penn State on Sunday night. He played cornerback and receiver as a junior.

"They're recruiting me as an athlete, they said that they're either going to play me as a receiver or a DB," he told BWI. "They said it's still up in the air, but they're going to get me on the field."

Thomas went to Eleanor Roosevelt High, the same school that produced wide receiver Derrick Williams.

Safety Stephen Obeng-Agyapong and cornerback Darrell Givens also committed this weekend, giving Penn State six commitments in the class of 2009. *
