Penn State offers commit of Big Ten foe

The 2026 class is largely complete for Penn State football, but that doesn’t mean that James Franklin and the Nittany Lions staff aren’t continuing to hit the trail in search of up-and-coming prospects.

On Saturday, Germantown (TN) defensive lineman Djidjou Bah shared on social media that he had picked up a Penn State offer following a conversation with defensive line coach Deion Barnes. Bah committed to Wisconsin early last month, but continued to take official visits throughout June.

A three-star, Bah is the No. 63 defensive lineman and No. 12 prospect out of Tennessee for the 2026 cycle, according to 247Sports.

After a great conversation with @DBarnes_18 I am blessed to receive an offer from Penn State University🔵⚪️. #alhamdulilah #WeAre @PennStateFball @coachjfranklin @CoachJaxDL @iamcoachgene @AllenTrieu @adamgorney @SWiltfong_ @CSmithScout @AllenTrieu pic.twitter.com/KTsGNP5qzm

Following a decommitment from offensive lineman Roseby Lubintus last Wednesday, the Nittany Lions now hold 24 pledges in the 2026 class. Along the defensive front, Barnes has earned commitments from a pair of three-star interior linemen: Isaac Chukwurah and Alex Haskell.

Penn State has the No. 16 class in the 2026 cycle.
