Penn State football freshman Joseph Mupoyi is set to join the Nittany Lions ahead of the 2023 season. With high expectations, Mupoyi was ranked among the top commits in James Franklin’s 2023 recruiting class, which secured an impressive No. 13 composite ranking.

Hailing from Maryland, Mupoyi stands at an imposing 6-foot-5 and weighs 240 pounds, making him a formidable defensive end. As a composite four-star recruit, he earned recognition as one of the top 40 EDGE players in his class and held the impressive title of the second-ranked recruit in Connecticut.

The recently released video highlighting Mupoyi’s exceptional strength during his senior year of high school underscores the level of talent Penn State football will be acquiring this fall.

If Mupoyi can demonstrate a similar rapid development to that of Tony Rojas, another talented freshman in the Penn State football program, the Nittany Lions will undoubtedly benefit from a promising cohort of young, up-and-coming athletes in the coming season.
