PA’s No. 1 QB names Penn State football as finalist for commitment

The Penn State football team has been heating up on the recruiting trail. In terms of finding consistent in-state talent and reiterating the importance of keeping those players home. Most recently, it was 2025 recruiting class LB Alex Tatsch who made his commitment to the Nittany Lions on Sunday. Now, the recruiting efforts continue to pay dividends as QB Matt Zollers has included Penn State in his final four college choices.

Andy Kotelnicki could be a large part of Zoller’s future

Offensive coordinators and quarterback coaches often mold the offense in college football. But the first step is developing trust in each player, especially at quarterback. With Andy Kotelnicki being hired in December and Matt Zollers having the chance to speak with Kotelnicki about his plans for the offense, he could be a large reason if and why the Nittany Lions land this prospect.

There is a way to go in his recruitment, but the fact that Penn State remains on this list after a recent visit is a positive sign of the relationship that has been established.
