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.

Here’s what the scouting report on Falzone says, per 247’s Director of Scouting Andrew Ivins.
“Athletic signal caller with a budding frame that has some of the characteristics required to do damage in a modern spread attack. Checks off the multi-sport participation box in style with a rare sprinting and swimming background. Isn’t the most fine-tuned passer at this stage, but showed noticeable improvement between sophomore and junior seasons as he was able to accurately feather the football to deeper parts of the field while using both touch and trajectory to his advantage. Not one to panic in the face of pressure and frequently can buy himself time as he darts away from defenders and extends plays. Will need to keep working on the mechanics and learn how to operate from the pocket on a more consistent basis, but should be viewed as a potential multi-year starter at the Power Four level with true dual-threat capabilities that can light up the scoreboard with both his arm and legs.”
A PENN STATE CONNECTION
Another connection Falzone has to Penn State is that his QB instructor, Brad Maendler, also works with Penn State’s current top two QBs, Drew Allar and Ethan Grunkemeyer.
Penn State now has 10 players committed to its 2026 recruiting Class. Falzone is the second quarterback, joining Troy Huhn.
