What Penn State Football Added in June
The future for Penn State Football got brighter in June.
It would be hard to argue any program loaded up on defensive talent more than PSU, as they landed four-star cornerbacks Daryus Dixson and Jahmir Joseph, high three-star cornerback Antonio Branch, four-star EDGEs Cortez Harris and Jayden Woods, four-star linebacker Max Granville and three-star safety Braswell Thomas. Capping off June with a BIG commitment on July 4th from legacy ATH Lavar Arrington JR.
Meanwhile, Penn State Football Recruiting added a few major offensive targets as well, with top-10 running back Jabree Wallace-Coleman and four-star receiver Jeff Exinor.
Alabama led the way with an average rating of 92.28 over nine commitments. Georgia was second (91.81 and eight), Oregon third (91.9 and seven), and Ohio State fourth (90.81 and nine).
The Nittany Lions sit at No. 13 nationally and still have a solid bit of ladder left to climb even higher in the national recruiting race and stay hot.
