FULL LIST: PENN STATE'S 2025 RECRUITING CLASS
In a game that was interrupted by a lengthy weather delay, Penn State looked sharp in a 35-12 win over West Virginia to start the season but in a much-closer-than-expected game against Bowling Green and in a 21-7 win over Illinois on Saturday night, the Nittany Lions have not been clicking on all cylinders. Trips to USC and Wisconsin come up in October and then Ohio State visits Happy Valley as we’ll learn much more then.
By comparison, Penn State has had a busy month on the recruiting trail landing two pledges led by four-star offensive lineman Malachi Goodman along with three-star Matthew Outten as the Nittany Lions are No. 14 overall in the team rankings.
Grade: A
