IN HIS OWN WORDS...
"Penn State is definitely doing the best right now," Gobaira said. "I'm reaching out to them once a week. Notre Dame is doing pretty good too. Virginia Tech is also doing well.
"I haven't done any visits yet," he said. "Hopefully I'll take some once the pandemic ends. I did a Zoom with some coaches but I haven't done any virtual visits yet.
"Penn State is showing a lot of love and they want to talk every week," said Gobaira. "They're obviously a great program with a great academic program.
RIVALS' REACTION...
Gobaira is a big, athletic defensive end with a lot of room to fill out his frame. He plays with a lot of physicality, but his speed and balance are what has really intrigued college coaches. Gobaira's ability to get off the line quickly and his outstanding motor gives offensive linemen problems. Penn State has done a great job making him feel like a priority so far. Notre Dame and Virginia Tech are very much in the conversation as well but expect Gobaira's recruitment to last for a long time.
