Penn State continues to dominate the state on the recruiting trail, and it is paying off in the Class of 2026 recruiting rankings.
In its latest effort to dominate the state on the recruiting trail, Penn State picked up a commitment from four-star quarterback Payton Falzone over the weekend. Falzone joins Penn State’s Class of 2026 and is the second quarterback commitment on the board for the Nittany Lions in the recruiting cycle.

On3 currently ranks Penn State as a top-10 class, although the cumulative ranking comes in a few spots lower at no. 9. The Nittany Lions are fourth among Big Ten schools on this updated list with Oregon (no. 4 nationally) ranking ahead of Penn State on On3’s ranking. USC (no. 2 nationally) and Ohio State (no. 3 nationally) also stay ahead of Penn State.
The updated team ranking list from Rivals is a bit less optimistic about Penn State’s current recruiting haul. Rivals ranks Penn State at no. 14 in the Class of 2026 rankings at the moment, and Penn State is ranked fourth among Big Ten programs behind USC (no. 1 nationally), Ohio State (no. 5 nationally), and Oregon (no. 6 nationally). Penn State is one spot ahead of Illinois in the Rivals Class of 2026 rankings.
