Ginnan said this about Penn State, “Penn State currently sits second in the Big Ten and No.12 nationally in the On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings. Quinton Martin leads the way for the Nittany Lions followed by a pair of top-100 prospects in Westford (Mass.) Cheshire Academy four-star tight end Luke Reynolds and Brookline (Mass.) Dexter School athlete Liam Andrews. Lewis Center (Ohio) Olentangy four-star Ethan Grunkemeyer is Penn State’s signal caller of the class and a top-10 quarterback recruit in the 2024 On300. The Nittany Lions have not received a commitment since Loganville (Ga.) Grayson four-star defensive lineman T.A. Cunningham pledged to Penn State on July 22.”

If James Franklin and his staff can add a few more players. This could be a top 10 2024 recruiting class in State College.
