A Penn State Class of 2028 commit is receiving interest from several major schools.

Notre Dame, Ole Miss, Nebraska, Tennessee and Texas A&M are all on Deonte Flemings’ radar.

Flemings was the first player to commit to Penn State’s 2028 Class, doing so in late January.

So he has plenty of time before he has to sign on the dotted line, and told Steve Wiltfong of Rivals.com that he’s looking to make the most of his recruitment.

“At the end of the day,” he said, “I still want to be a kid and enjoy my recruitment and make the best decision for me and my family.”

Right now, that decision is Penn State.

Coach Matt Campbell and company hope it stays that way.

Flemings, a four-star recruit, is the No. 130 overall player in the country per Rivals, as well as the No. 16 DB and No. 4 overall player in Pennsylvania.

The Erie (PA) McDowell High School star explained why he chose to commit while his freshman year of high school was as still in session.

“People say why so early,” Flemings wrote to social media the morning after his commitment. “It was (G)od willing and perfect timing i can focus on me now and becoming the best version of myself.”

And why was Penn State the place?

“First and foremost, I think the new coaching staff is ready to compete already and that’s one thing that I love,” Flemings told 247Sports’ Brian Dohn. “Coach Campbell is a very honest guy and family oriented that’s what it’s about to me and my family. I need somebody that’s going to be on me when my parents not around and turn me to the best version of myself.”
