In recruiting news, One of Pennsylvania’s top Class of 2026 players has Penn State amongst his finalists.
Hayes Fawcett of On3Sports reported Friday afternoon that Grayson McKeogh has Penn State in his top three along with Notre Dame and Texas.
Additionally, he’s locked in official visit dates for all three schools.
McKeogh plans to visit Penn State June 6-8, followed by Notre Dame June 13-15 and Texas June 20-22. Of the three schools, Penn State has been in on McKeogh the longest. PSU offered McKeogh this past November. Notre Dame offered him in March and Texas offered him May 19.
Other schools to offer McKeogh include Boston College, Duke, Indiana, Michigan State, Missouri, Ole Miss, Pitt, Rutgers, Syracuse, Wake Forest and Wisconsin.

McKeogh also explained that he had been scheduled to visit Duke June 6-8, which is now when he’ll be visiting Penn State.
“Then, it was the same thing for Notre Dame,” he said. “They said that the weekend they thought was best was the weekend I had set for Penn State before. So, I figured if I’m going to visit those two schools, it’s best to get the most out of both of them.”
WHAT A COMMITMENT WOULD MEAN
So what would a commitment from McKeogh mean for Penn State? Well, for one, it would keep up the trend of PA’s top players staying close to home. Seven of Penn State’s 18 Class of 2026 commits are local.
One of the top ones, four-star Kevin Brown, is an OL from Harrisburg.
So, yeah, this would be big. Both literally and figuratively.
