FB Recruiting Four-Star OL Malachi Goodman commits to Penn State!

2025 OL Malachi Goodman

Best offer sheet we have seen all year. All the top schools offered - Georgia, Alabama, OSU, Michigan, USC, Miami, Oklahoma, etc. Of course, since Malachi can see and walk the pitters gave him an offer just for laughs. Mr. Goodman should be a real stud in our OL.

He is a large man. Will fit in well with what Trautwein is doing. Coach T likes tall lineman. All of our OL seem to be 6’5” or taller.
 
I know that perhaps the average rating per recruit is not as high as we would want, but I think this is probably the most complete class we have had in a very long time regarding needs. This was a very important pickup.
Maybe not the average rating many want, but people need to keep in mind that this is just phase 1 of recruiting with the Portal pickups to follow

With that in mind maybe the Outten verbal was the 2nd from last spot for high school players this cycle and Goodman verbaled into the last spot. With rosters expanding to 105, can't remember when, then that theory may be out the window....


It was supposed to happen on Thursday, but obviously some things have changed.
Was it due to the class filling up with Outten's verbal now public?

No effect on one another.

Yeah, even in the years before portal transfers, this class would be considered a very good class and well rounded enough to be in contention at a top level. Franklin has been net positive in the transfer portal, so like you said, there is a phase 2 that could be lucrative for us as well.

Somebody used to post "look at the offers, not the rating." Probably one of the more accurate statements one could make.

I'll take that a step further: look at the visits.

Visits truly mean an offer was legit, AND some level of interest by the prospect.

Goodman visited UGA and Bama.
