1. We have, who many regard, one of the best Dline coaches in the country.
2. We run a 4-3 and they run a 3-4 and their DT position is crowded
3. We have great defensive minds on the team
4. One of the players he has a great relationship is committed here
5. One of our old DL is now one of the highest payed defensive players in the NFL. Connor Barwin also got paid.
6. Great relationship with the coaches
7. He seems to want to go against the grain
8. He knows someone like him committing to UC is a huge deal and it will make everybody lose it. Maybe he want to make a big ordeal. He would be legend in this city without touching the field and I think he's smart enough to know that.
9. He might be in contact with other players to do it around the same time.
10. A while ago Malik Vann told us this class is going to be something crazy... It's nice so far, but I feel like he meant there was more than this. Malik Vann knows something.
11. He's been a fan since childhood
12. PSU Defensive lines hasn't churned out nobody noteworthy in the last 5 years they will continue to be linebacker U. Especially using a 3/4 even if it is hybrid.

13. If he wants to play in front of 110,000 people, 1 - 12 don't mean s*it.

If he isn't lost on the depth chart.... Sure... I think people put too much into playing in front of 110000 people.
