Episode 4 – Will Fries and Michal Menet – Roommates

Michal Menet, the first Berks County football player ever to be named first-team All-State in Class AAA for three straight years en route to becoming a crown jewel of Penn State's 2016 recruiting class, shares with Zeke his offseason and his expectations this fall playing for the Nittany Lions. Menet, 6-5 and now up to 290 pounds, is a five-star recruit who is rated by some recruiting analysts as the top guard offensive guard in the country and the second-best offensive tackle. Menet was thrown a curve when Penn State offensive line coach Herb Hand, who played a primary role in recruiting Menet to Penn State, resigned to take the same job at Auburn.  Four days later Menet received a visit from Penn State head coach James Franklin, new offensive coordinator Joe Moorhead and new offensive line coach Matt Limegrover.  "As soon as he (Hand) left, a lot of other coaches started calling me," Menet tells Zeke. "But I never wavered. I was 100 percent Penn State." Menet tells Zeke that he "gave serious thought" to early enrollment this spring and taking part in Penn State spring drills but opted to enjoy the remainder of his high school experience. He did give up playing basketball his senior year to concentrate on football. "My foot speed is natural but the lateral moves I developed came from basketball," he tells Zeke. Menet is taking two summer classes at Penn State and will be joining football drills. He decided not to play in the Voices All-Star Game or the Big 33 game because he already had played in the Under Armour All-American Game ("They treated us like kings; I had a lot of fun.") and wanted to give other guys a chance to play in an all-star game. Menet tells Zeke that he "likes to play tackle but can handle guard. I will play wherever they need me." Franklin has said that Menet has the athletic ability to play tackle, the intelligence to play center and the power to play guard. The Nittany Lions have struggled mightily on the offensive line the last two seasons, but they return four starters. Menet says he hopes to compete for a starting job this fall. "As a freshman everybody was a big dog in their town, now I'm just a small fish in a big pond," Menet tells Zeke. "I'm now ready to go up there and put in the work so I can get on the field." Menet, who is undecided about a major but is leaning toward business, says he is not worried about balancing big-time athletics and academics at Penn State. "With mandatory study halls and academic help when we need it, they make it easy on us," he says.

Michal Menet, three-time first-team All-State lineman from Exeter High and prized Penn State recruit

Penn State football picked up a monster recruit last week, as four-star offensive tackle Michal Menet announced that he will join the Nittany Lions' 2016 recruiting class. He is the latest star prospect to join what is shaping up to be one of the best classes in school history. In this episode of the Black Shoe Podcast, Bill, Nick and Matt will take a look at what Menet's commitment means in the immediate future, they'll take a look at the class as it's currently constructed and they'll end with a look at how this class could shape up come National Signing Day. Get excited, the Black Shoe Podcast is back!
