When Penn State head coach James Franklin said he was going to "dominate the state" in recruiting, he sure wasn't kidding. The Nittany Lions first year leader isn't only dominating the state, he's dominating the region. So far, Franklin has nabbed six of the top 10 recruits from Pennsylvania in the class of 2015 and five of the top 10 in New Jersey.

Here's a look at the what the Nittany Lions have done so far and breakdowns of each position group.According to rivals.com, Penn State has the 6th best recruiting class in the country.QuarterbackThis is the third consecutive season Penn State has been able to get a commit from a high profile quarterback. Christian Hackenberg (2013 *****), Michael O'Connor (2014 ****), and now Brandon Wimbush of New Jersey will give the quarterback spot some much needed depth next season. Wimbush's style is different from Hackenberg and O'Connor. He's a dual threat guy, has a lot of speed, but he's an even better passer. He has a straight up rocket for an arm and already can make all the big time throws. Look for him to red shirt his freshman season and then battle for the starting job in 2016 with O'Connor when Hackenberg will likely enter the NFL Draft. Wimbush is ranked as the fourth best quarterback in the country, according to rivals.com.**** Brandon Wimbush (6-1, 212) St. Peter's Prep, Jersey City, NJRunning backPenn State hopes to bring in two backs decently close to the TIMES NEWS area in Whitehall running back Saquon Barkley and Bishop McDevitt's Andre Robinson. Both will help solidify depth in the backfield next season and both are also very talented. A lot of schools are going to a running back by committee type approach to the run game and it looks like PSU is headed in that direction. Barkley is more of a speedster (4.48 40-yd dash), while Robinson is a work horse back that looks to get stronger as the game progresses. They should definitely form a nice one-two punch for Penn State in the future if they live up to their potential.**** Saquon Barkley (5-11, 190) Whitehall, Whitehall, PA**** Andre Robinson (5-10, 210) Bishop McDevitt, Harrisburg, PAWide receiverFor the second consecutive season, Penn State has cleaned up in getting top flight receivers to commit. Last season, they were able to sign three four-star receivers and one three-star, bolstering their roster with talent at that position. Now, it's looking like Franklin and his staff are dead set on giving Hackenberg and his eventual successor an unlimited amount of aerial weapons. Juwan Johnson and Irvin Charles, are all rated as four-star prospects by rivals.com, while Brandon Polk is rated as a three-star. That means in the last two seasons Penn State has gotten commits from five four-star and two three-star prospects, which is pretty impressive by any standard. Johnson and Charles are your prototypical wideouts with size, both measuring 6-4. They both also have shown the ability to make plays after the catch and run away from defenders with their long strides. But the guy that impressed me the most was Polk. He's small in stature at 5-9 150 pounds, but his speed (4.36 40-yd dash) is what sets him apart. He also shows an uncanny ability to make people miss and his hands are very good. He glides across the field when he has the football and should pair well with Penn State true freshman De'Andre Thompkins in the slot next season.**** Juwan Johnson (6-4, 205) Glassboro, Glassboro, NJ**** Irvin Charles (6-4, 207) Paul IV, Haddonfield, NJ*** Brandon Polk (5-9, 150) Briar Woods, Asburn, VAOffensive linemanThis is definitely an area of need for the Nittany Lions. There is only one returning starter on the offensive line this year in Donovan Smith, which means Penn State will be very youthful in the trenches this season. They didn't bring in any big names last season, but they did a solid job, bringing in four three-star prospects that all have size with their smallest prospect measuring 6-6. This season, Franklin certainly stepped his game up in getting elite lineman to commit. Sterling Jenkins, Steven Gonzalez, and Ryan Bates are all rated as four-star prospects and all have the potential to start in the future. The man who could see playing time right out of the gate is Jenkins. He is an absolute monster, measuring 6-8 308 pounds. He is also rated No. 62 in the rivals.com top 100, which is the highest of any Penn State recruit in the class of 2015. Jenkins dominates at the high school level, especially in the run game and shows true brute force on almost every snap. Gonzalez, who will most likely play guard at the next level is also a very talented prospect coming in as the 13th ranked guard in the country.**** Sterling Jenkins (6-8, 308) Baldwin, Pittsburgh, PA**** Steven Gonzalez (6-4, 321) Union City, Union City, NJ**** Ryan Bates (6-5, 285) Archbishop Wood, Warminster, PADefensive linemanIt's no secret what Franklin is trying to do with this football team. His goal is to recruit size and length and he has certainly done that with this group. Defensive end recruits Ryan Buchholz and Jonathan Holland are both big, measuring 6-5 and 6-6 respectively. Right now their best attribute is their speed and Franklin hopes to add more weight to their frame in the future. Defensive tackle recruit Adam McLean looks to be the top prospect out of the defensive lineman and although he is a defensive end now he'll probably end up being a defensive tackle with his 6-1 285 pound frame. McLean is a true run stuffer and could be one of the next great defensive tackles to play for the blue and white in the years to come.**** Ryan Buchholz (6-6, 235) Great Valley, Malvern, PA**** Adam McLean (6-1, 285) Quince Orchard, North Potomac, MD*** Jonathan Holland (6-5, 235) Bulls School, Potomac, MDLinebackerThis is a definite need position for the school that was once deemed "Linebacker U." Franklin opted to go with athleticism here, picking up three-star prospects Manny Bowen and Jake Cooper. Four-star prospect Kamonte Carter is currently viewed as an athlete that can play either defensive end or linebacker, but considering the Nittany Lions lack of depth at the LB spot we'll throw him in with the linebackers for the time being. Bowen reminds me a lot of Gerald Hodges and I think he could be that type of player. He flys around a lot and has good ball skills. Cooper could be the next tackling machine for PSU. He has an absolute nose for the football, especially against the run and tallied an amazing 152 tackles in 15 games this past season for the AAA PA State Champs.**** Kamonte Carter (6-4, 230) Gaithersburg, Gaithersburg, MD*** Manny Bowen (6-2, 206) Barnegat, Barnegat, NJ*** Jake Cooper (6-2, 226) Archbishop Wood, Warminster, PADefensive BackFranklin's staff priority of size once again reiterates here. Both Jarvis Miller and Ayron Monroe measure 6-1 and near the 200 pound mark. In the 2014 class, Franklin brought in four guys that were 6-1 or bigger. That means Franklin wants a more physical secondary that will make it difficult for opposing quarterbacks to have success through the air. Added to this group is three-star athlete Myles Hartsfield. Hartsfield will most likely play cornerback at the next level and has the speed to do so, running a sub 4.4 40-yd dash. Nittany Lions fans should see Hartsfield in a starting role capacity in the years to come.*** Jarvis Miller (6-1, 198) Suffield, West Suffield, CT*** Ayron Monroe (6-1, 195) St. John's College High, Washington D.C.*** Myles Hartsfield (5-10, 180) Sayreville War Memorial, Parlin, NJ
