Jeudy (6-foot-3, 295-pounds) played in two games for Texas A&M this past season after redshirting in 2021. The Northeast High School (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) product was the No. 9 recruit in Pennsylvania, the No. 14 player overall at his position and the No. 208 recruit in the Class of 2021, according to 247Sports Composite Rankings.
Jeudy has also reportedly received offers from Boston College, Colorado, Nebraska, Syracuse and Virginia Tech since entering the transfer portal. Penn State may have the advantage because during his high school recruiting process he visited Happy Valley five times and still has a strong relationship with the staff.
Jeudy has the size to play both defensive end and on the interior defensive line. He was recruited as an edge rusher; However, he added 50 pounds before coming to college station to play the defensive tackle for the Aggies.
Jeudy only appeared in four games for Texas A&M in his two seasons and recorded 12 snaps this past season, according to Pro Football Focus.
Jeudy could help bring the size and depth that Penn State needs to help go alongside the talented but undersized Hakeem Beamon (6-foot-3, 264 pounds.)
