Miami takes advantage of Penn State's issues and flips three-star DL

The Miami Hurricanes have taken advantage of the fact that the Penn State Nittany Lions don't have a long-term plan at head coach right now.

It's always open season whenever a head coach is fired, and that has absolutely been the case at Penn State. James Franklin was fired in mid-October, and multiple recruits have since backed off on their pledges to the Nittany Lions.

One of those recruits was three-star defensive tackle Isaac Chukwurah from Bear, Delaware. The 6-foot-2, 265 pounder had been committed to PSU but broke that off when Franklin was fired.

He re-opened his recruitment and strongly considered NC State and Syracuse, but ultimately decided to commit to the Hurricanes after a visit this past weekend.

“Talking with the coaches their plan for me matched everything I want to do in life in terms of schooling and ultimately going to the NFL. I think Miami is the right place for me," Chukwurah told Steve Wiltfong of Rivals.
