Zachary Gleason, a three-star cornerback from Pittsburgh, PA, has flipped his commitment from the Penn State Nittany Lions to the West Virginia Mountaineers. Gleason had been committed to Penn State since March but decided to join West Virginia following an official visit. The move has raised eyebrows given Penn State's strong program under head coach Matt Campbell. Gleason's transfer appears motivated by a desire for immediate playing time, and West Virginia is prioritizing recruits from Western Pennsylvania.
