Penn State could be about to add to the Class of 2026 this weekend

Penn State could be setting off some recruiting fireworks this July 4th weekend if some of the latest recruiting predictions prove to be accurate. With a couple of recruiting targets expected to announce their college decisions this weekend, Penn State looks to be in good shape for a few more additions to the Class of 2026.

At 6′-4″ and 210 pounds, Harley has the size that would fit quite well with the Penn State defense, and he has experience at linebacker. 247Sports ranks Harley as the 33rd-best edge rusher in the nation, and he is the second overall recruit out of Washington D.C.

All three predictions currently on record at 247Sports favor Penn State for Harley’s commitment. The On3 recruiting prediction tool gives Penn State an overwhelming 92.8% chance of receiving Harley’s commitment.

Harley is scheduled to announce his commitment Saturday evening at about 7:30 p.m. ET. While Penn State is considered the strong favorite to secure his commitment, the other schools reportedly in the mix include Maryland, Rutgers, Michigan State, and Virginia Tech.

Penn State could also be on the verge of adding another offensive lineman to the recruiting class as well. Marlen Bright, a three-star tackle from New Jersey, is also expected to announce his college commitment on Saturday. Once again, Penn State is considered the prohibitive favorite as the announcement draws near. The 6′-6″ 260-pound offensive tackle from DePaul Catholic in Wayne, New Jersey, is scheduled to announce his decision at about 1:00 p.m. ET on Saturday.

The On3 recruiting prediction tool predicts a 96.3% chance that Bright ultimately commits to the Nittany Lions. There are only two official predictions posted to 247Sports, but…
