Really only one team can say that they cannot be stopped as far as 2018 recruiting goes.

Penn State got yet another big win on Thursday, as four-star linebacker Nick Tarburton (6-foot-4, 242 pounds, Perkasie, Pa.) announced that he had committed to James Franklin and the Nittany Lions.

Tarburton is ranked as a four-star recruit by Rivals, and as a high three-star by 247Sports. According to his Twitter, he received his Penn State offer two weeks ago, and it didn't take long for him to capitalize on that opportunity.

Penn State's 2018 recruiting class has already blossomed up to 11 commitments, two of which are five-star recruits Micah Parsons and Ricky Slade. James Franklin has really done a good job at rebuilding Penn State through recruiting, and they could become something special considering that they are building off of an 11-win campaign in 2016.
