Recruits React to Penn State’s Junior Day

Penn State has its third consecutive Junior Day this weekend, hosting many top recruits.

Although it’s termed “Junior Day,” Penn State’s visitors weren’t limited to the Class of 2024. Players from multiple classes came to campus to meet up with James Franklin and his staff.

Penn State also extended multiple offers, including one to Bryce Jay Underwood (2025), a five-star, 6-foot-3, 205-pound quarterback from Belleville High School in Michigan. Underwood also has offers from schools such as Arkansas, Cincinnati, Colorado, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisville, Maryland, Miami, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Missouri, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Ole Miss, Pitt, Tennessee, Texas A&M and Washington.

Many of Penn State’s visitors documented their experience via Twitter. Here’s what they had to say.
