BREAKING: Penn State football adds TN OL in second commitment of afternoon

Penn State football is continuing a busy Friday with another addition to its 2026 recruiting cycle. Two hours after landing four-star edge rusher Jackson Ford, the Nittany Lions earned a second commitment of the afternoon from Beech (TN) offensive lineman Jack Fuchs.

Fuchs announced his decision via social media. He chose the Nittany Lions over Indiana and Kentucky. The commitment comes off his official visit last weekend.

A massive addition to the Nittany Lions front, Fuchs measures at 6-8, 290-pounds. A three-star, he is the No. 39 offensive tackle in the 2026 cycle, according to 247Sports.

Fuchs becomes the fourth offensive lineman to commit to James Franklin and Phil Trautwein in the class, following behind Kevin Brown, Benjamin Eziuka, and Roseby Lubintus. Now with 21 pledges in the cycle, Penn State has the No. 8 class nationally.
