Hardy, from Paramus (NJ) Catholic, stayed fairly close to home by choosing the Nittany Lions, since State College, PA is just three and a half hours to the west of Paramus. He also told Bleacher Report:
"I want to go to a school where they can compete for a national championship or a big bowl game every year. I want that program to be a top team every year. Other than that, just a place where I will feel comfortable and where the coaches value me. I just want to go to a place that feels like home."
Hardy, a 6-foot-5, 241 pound class of 2018 recruit, is the No. 6-ranked weakside defensive end in the country and the No. 6-ranked player in the state of New Jersey. He was offered scholarships from the biggest names in college football, including Miami, Ohio State, Florida, Texas and Notre Dame.
