Penn State lands 2021 guard Houston Mallette
By JACOB POLACHECK
Houston Mallette has committed to Penn State, he announced Friday via Twitter.
“It’s been a great relationship,” Mallette told ZAGSBLOG in February. “Coach [Patrick] Chambers and coach [Keith] Urgo have reached out a lot and they’ve said they really like me. They can see me as one of their future players there. They came out to watch me play and it was a great opportunity. I really appreciate them for it.”
Mallette, a 6-foot-5 combo guard from Pacifica Christian (CA), took his official visit to Penn State from Dec. 6-8. He broke down his visit:
“It was a great visit. Coach Chambers is awesome. Coach Urgo is awesome. Coach [Kevin] Freeman is awesome,” Mallette said. “They really broke a lot of things down for me as well. What also stood out was the campus. It’s a beautiful campus. They’re building, grinding and trying to become the best they can become.”
Mallette chose Penn State over schools such as St. Mary’s, Florida State, Pepperdine, Princeton, James Madison, George Washington, Long Beach State, Montana, Rice, San Diego, Santa Clara, UC Riverside, UC Santa Barbara, UNLV and Washington State, among others.
He joins power forward TaQuan Woodley as the second commit in Penn State’s 2021 class.
