Penn State is loaded at linebacker in 2025

With Tom Allen arriving as the next defensive coordinator in Happy Valley the linebacker recruiting has taken off. On3 has all three of the Nittany Lion linebacker commits listed with a four-star ranking. That includes DJ McClary, Alex Tatsch, and Dayshaun Burnett. If Penn State can also add Ty Jackson they might have one of the strongest linebacker cores of the future.
