Florida four-star linebacker earns Penn State offer during weekend visit

Yesterday, Penn State football made waves in the recruiting landscape with a series of impressive developments. The team attracted significant attention, not only for hosting notable visitors but also for securing a commitment from a talented 2024 quarterback from Ohio. These achievements garnered national headlines and underscored Penn State’s prowess in recruiting for the classes of 2024 and 2025.

Among the visitors was Ezekiel Marcelin, a highly regarded four-star linebacker hailing from Miami, Florida, in the class of 2024. Marcelin’s exceptional talent has earned him recognition from ON3, who ranks him as a four-star linebacker and places him within the top 300 nationally. He is further recognized as the 27th best linebacker in his class and the 39th best recruit in the state of Florida. Understandably, regional programs such as the Miami Hurricanes have expressed considerable interest in him, along with other schools.

Despite the geographical distance between Marcelin and Pennsylvania, Penn State football has emerged as one of the top three contenders for his commitment, as indicated by the Recruiting Prediction Machine. The only programs currently ranked higher than the Nittany Lions are the Miami Hurricanes and the Florida State Seminoles.

During his visit to State College yesterday, Marcelin received a coveted offer from Penn State, a notable achievement for any high school linebacker. This offer further demonstrates Penn State’s recognition of Marcelin’s exceptional talent and their interest in securing him as a member of the 2025 class, which currently ranks among the nation’s top-3.
