**The recruitment of Peters Township 3-star TE/DE Lucas Shanafelt could be getting interesting over the upcoming months. With players making upcoming unofficial visits, the chances of receiving an offer from a particular program increase. Last night, Shanafelt announced his intentions to make an unofficial visit to Penn State on April 5th. That’s the same day that North Allegheny defensive tackle Lincoln Hoke will also be visiting. At this point, Shanafelt holds two Power 4 offers- Pitt and West Virginia.
