On Sunday morning, it came as a surprise when Harrisburg (Pa.) offensive lineman Nate Bruce decommitted from Penn State.

Following a phone call with James Franklin later in the morning, that’s no longer the case.

“I am still committed,” Bruce told Lions247 on Sunday afternoon. “I was falling for other attention lately, which was my mistake. PSU is all genuine and true love and where I want to be. I made the mistake of listening to others in my ear and the fake love.”

The three-star prospect is back in the fold after a curious couple of hours. He originally committed to the Nittany Lions in October and showed no real signs of wavering on the pledge, most recently visiting campus on Feb. 1. Bowling Green, Massachusetts, Rutgers, Toledo and Virginia Tech were his other offers when he committed to the Nittany Lions in the fall, though other schools have continued to reach out since the end of his junior season.

Bruce committed in the fall when Matt Limegrover was the Nittany Lions’ offensive line coach, but Limegrover was replaced by Phil Trautwein in January. Trautwein has taken over Bruce’s recruitment, along with defensive coordinator and area recruiter Brent Pry, in the time since. He is projected to be an interior offensive lineman for the Nittany Lions.

He’s the No. 30 offensive guard in the country and the No. 15 prospect in Pennsylvania in the Class of 2021 according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. With Bruce's reversing course, the Nittany Lions are back to three commitments in the Class of 2021. Florida tight end Nick Elksnis was the first member of the class back in late July and Ohio athlete Liam Clifford, younger brother of Penn State starting quarterback Sean Clifford, made his commitment in October.

Bruce committed to the Nittany Lions before the team’s White Out win over Michigan.

"At Penn State, Coach Franklin expresses how we are much more than football players and how at Penn State it’s bigger than football, that’s why Penn State is at the top of my list," Bruce told 247Sports at the time. "It’s all good vibes in Happy Valley.”
