Future Penn State football quarterback Troy Huhn will have a chance to show off his skills against some of the best prospects in the country next January. On Sunday, the Nittany Lions commit officially earned an invitation to the 2026 Under Armour All-America Game.

The Mission Hills quarterback earned his invitation after his strong showing at the UA Next High School Camp in Los Angeles over the weekend. Huhn was recognized for his on-field leadership as well as his passing abilities.

A four-star, Huhn is the No. 14 quarterback and No. 202 prospect in the 2026 recruiting cycle, according to 247Sports.

Penn State football gearing up for another two-quarterback class in 2026

Troy Huhn became Penn State’s second commitment in the 2026 cycle last summer. Nearly a year later, the Nittany Lions recently added a pledge from another top passer, Nazareth (PA) four-star Peyton Falzone, last month.

Together, Huhn and Falzone are set to become the program’s first two-quarterback class since Drew Allar and Beau Pribula arrived in Happy Valley in 2022. If both commitments hold, 2026 will be the fourth time James Franklin has signed two passers in the same class since taking over the Penn State football program.

“I think we’ve done it multiple times here,” Franklin said of the situation in April. “I think number one, you’d like those guys to have different skill sets. That plays a factor into it. At the end of the day, we want to make sure that we have as much competition at every position as we possibly can. And I think we’ve all seen kind of what’s going on in college football with the transfer portal, that we want to be aggressive at that position.

“But I will also say this, that we don’t do anything without communicating ahead of time, because we got a ton of respect, not only for our program and how we have to run it, but also the decisions people have and the decisions they’ve made. So we’re just very upfront and honest and transparent, and wouldn’t make any of those decisions unless people are comfortable.”
