Could Penn State footballโs 2027 recruiting class end up featuring one of Americaโs best prep QBs?
This, of course, remains to be seen.
But Penn State likes Peter Bourque and Peter Bourque likes Penn State.
Penn State offered the 6-foot-4, 205-pounder last July while he was visiting during โLasch Bash weekend.โ He returned to PSU in late November for the teamโs win regular-season finale against Maryland and came back this past Friday for a spring practice.
After the visit, Bourque talked with On3Sports about his latest experience.
WHAT BOURQUE SAID
Hereโs what Bourque told On3 about his visit.
โAnother great trip to Penn State,โ Bourque said. โThe culture always stands out. Great people from the top on down in the program.โ
The way Penn State structures its practices also impressed Bourque.
โIt was awesome to see how they plan and practice,โ he said. (QB) Coach (Danny) OโBrien is phenomenal and they made a huge addition to the quarterback room bringing Trace McSorely in. I loved spending time and talking football with them.โ
Penn Stateโs QB room is pretty solid at the moment. With Drew Allar back for Year 4 and backups Ethan Grunkemeyer and Jaxon Smolik each impressing, things are looking pretty good.
โThe makeup of the quarterback room is great and an environment I would thrive in,โ he said. โEveryone is close but compete hard with each other every day.โ
Bourque is also a big James Franklin fan.
โEvery time we are there Coach Franklin makes sure to make me feel like a priority for the program,โ Bourque said. โWe all talked about the building blocks already coming together in what will be a top 2027 class. There was a super talented group of recruits and commits on campus.โ
โPenn State is a program set up to win now and in the years ahead.โ
HOW GOOD IS BOURQUE
So how good is Peter Bourque?
Well, On3 has him as the No. 49 overall player in the country, the No. 6 QB in the land and the top overall player in Massachusetts.
Before Bourque can worry too much about where he will play in college, he has two years left at The Tabor School in Massachusetts.
Penn State footballโs 2027 recruiting class currently has three commits.
