He informed head coach James Franklin of his decision before Saturday's Blue-White intrasquad game.

"This journey has been amazing," Wallace said on Twitter. "After every journey, you must return home. I know where home is. I will be committing to Pennsylvania State University.

Wallace is ranked No. 66 in the nation by Rivals and No. 74 by 247 Sports. Rivals rates him as the nation's No. 3 guard, while 247 Sports has him at No. 4.
