Taylor (Pa.) Riverside senior Tavian Branch will head to Penn State this weekend for an official visit as the Nittany Lions host Florida International.

Branch, a dominant defensive lineman and one of District 2’s top recruits, originally committed to Rutgers in June. He re-opened his recruitment in late August, just ahead of Riverside’s game against Hanover, and has since drawn continued interest from major programs.

After canceling a summer visit with Penn State following his Rutgers pledge, Branch now gets the chance to take a closer look at James Franklin’s program. As his senior season unfolds, Branch’s recruitment will remain a storyline to follow across the region.
