The Penn State football program received a pleasant surprise on Tuesday night with a huge addition to their Class of 2025.

Highly ranked 4-star defensive tackle Randy Adirika announced his commitment to Penn State, selecting the Nittany Lions over hometown Miami and USC.

This is a huge recruiting win for Penn State football as they were able to add a highly ranked defensive tackle to their already impressive Class of 2025. He also becomes the second 4-star recruit from Miami to commit to Penn State, joining quarterback Bekkem Kritza, who gave a verbal back in November.

How big of a get was Adirika?

Going by the player rankings on Rivals.com, Adirika becomes the 3rd highest ranked player in the Nittany Lions recruiting class.
