As the season progresses, high school football players begin to make more decisions. Now, the Penn State football team is the favorite to land this dynamic player from Pennsylvania. As many in the Penn State community would say the best in PA stay in PA. The 2025 recruiting class took a hit last week when Jaelyne Matthews decided to de-commit from the Nittany Lions. However, the class might gain more strength with the addition of Tiqwai Hayes.
