In recruiting news, Penn State football just added the latest member of its 2026 Class in four-star QB Peyton Falzone.
PSU now has 10 players committed, with Falzone being the second quarterback.
Thereโs still more than eight months between now and signing day, but for now, Penn State is in good shape.
PSUโs 2026 Class is ranked sixth in the country and doesnโt appear to be slowing down. The program has also been fulfilling its goal to โdominate the stateโ with five of the 10 commits being from Pennsylvania.
The other five are from California, Delaware, Maryland, ย New Jersey and West Virginia.
Hereโs a breakdown of all 10, going from the highest-rated to the lowest-rated on 247Sports.
MATT SIEG
Sieg, a four-star WPIAL safety from Fort Cherry High School, committed to Penn State in early November right before the team took on Ohio State. 247 has Sieg as the No. 74 overall player in the country, along with the No. 8 safety and No. 2 overall player in Pennsylvania. Siegโs father, Jeff, could see Beaver Stadium from his house growing up, so Matt Sieg has been familiar with Penn State football for a long time.
KEVIN BROWN
Brown, a four-star offensive tackle from Harrisburg, committed to Penn State in late July. 247Sportsโ composite ratings have him as the 43rd-ranked player in the country, as well as the No. 5 OT and No. 1 overall player in PA. Penn State has built a perennially good offensive line, and Brown could help continue that.
PEYTON FALZONE
This is a big get.
Per 247Sports, Falzone is the No. 11 QB in the country from the 2026 Class along with the No. 4 player in Pennsylvania and the No. 177 player overall. Last season, per MaxPreps, Falzone threw for 23 touchdowns and four interceptions, completing 52% of his passes. He was also a threat on the ground, going for 697 yards and eight touchdowns on 78 carries. His performance earned him Eastern Pennsylvania Conference Offensive MVP.
DANIEL JENNINGS
Our first out-of-state guy, Jennings committed to Penn State on the last day of July. 247 has him as the No. 1 player in West Virginia as well as the No. 188 player nationally and No. 19 EDGE in the country.
TROY HUHN
Coming all the way from California, Huhn was the first QB to commit in this Class, doing so in June. Heโs the 202nd-ranked player nationally per 247Sports, the No. 14 quarterback and the No. 24 overall player in California.
MESSIAH MICKENS
Going back to PA now, Mickens, a star at Harrisburg High School, was a big-time get for Penn State. He was the first player to commit to this 2026 class, doing so in August 2023. Since then, Mickens has firmly established himself as one of the best prep running backs in the country and he further solidified that in 2024. He ended the season with 1,214 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns, also catching 17 passes for 235 yards and additional two TD.
Heโs also pretty darn good defensively, ending the season with 81 tackles, 16.5 sacks, 21 quarterback hurries and two forced fumbles.
All of this earned him PAโs Gatorade Player of the Year.

DAVID DAVIS
Imani Christian Academy has been good to Penn State. In the last recruiting cycle, Penn State got Dayshaun Burnett to commit. Now, Davis will be following him, assuming he signs. The three-star is the No. 9 overall player in Pennsylvania per 247Sports.
JULIAN PETERSON
Moving over to New Jersey. Peterson committed to Penn State in late January. The three-star cornerback is the No. 7 player in New Jersey from his class per 247Sportsโ composite rankings.
JAHISEAR ROGERS
Penn State has struggled at receiver in recent years, and if that trend continues going into next season, Rogers could be a reinforcement. The three-star is the No. 1 player in the state of Delaware.
LAVAR KEYS
Another receiver, this one from the state of Maryland. Keys was named after Penn State legend Lavar Arrington, so, yeah, he knew where he wanted to go. The three-star from DeMatha Catholic is the No. 14 overall player in Maryland per 247Sportsโ Composite Ratings.
