Coming off a run to the College Football Playoff semifinal at the end of the 2024 season gave Penn State a little more fuel for the Class of 2026 recruiting process. The Nittany Lions are hoping to land another high-quality class in the 2026 recruiting cycle with a group of top commitments from within the state and other key recruiting battlegrounds.
Penn State signed a top-15 Class of 2025 and would love to see a bit of a higher recruiting class ranking in 2026. Penn State had a top-10 class lined up early on in the process, with plenty of room to add on.
Here is an updated look at Penn State’s Class of 2026. This was last updated on April 1, 2026.
