247 Sports currently ranks Scruggs as one of the Top 150 overall players in the Class of 2026 and one of the Top 10 interior linemen.
So far this calendar year, Scruggs has made two unofficial visits to State College, one in February and the most recent one in June.
Over the last two recruiting classes, Penn State has done an excellent job recruiting in the state of Virginia and would like to continue that with landing Scruggs.
