SEC quarterback target Julian Lewis looking for a Penn State football recruiting visit soon

Currently, the Nittany Lions’ top-5 2024 recruiting class is the talk of the town. However, James Franklin is working tirelessly across the board, including on the up-and-coming 2026 Penn State football recruiting class. While this class has yet to be evaluated by major recruiting services and has no commits as of yet, Penn State football is actively offering scholarships and bringing in talented players to campus.

One of the top targets for Penn State is Julian Lewis, a sought-after 2026 recruit who is drawing attention from SEC programs despite his young age. While he remains unranked due to the youth of his class, QB Hit List has praised the rising high school sophomore’s arm talent.

As a Carrollton, GA native, Lewis has garnered interest from nearby SEC programs, including the back-to-back national champions, the Georgia Bulldogs, who are currently considered the favorites in his recruitment. However, Penn State football recruiting is making inroads with Lewis and is one of two Big Ten programs that he specifically mentioned when asked about potential recruiting visits to the north.

Lewis’s offer list is impressive, ranging from smaller programs to some of the nation’s largest and most prestigious universities. Among those vying for his talents are Michigan, Penn State, Ohio State, Texas, Georgia, LSU, and many other top-tier schools. With such a wide range of options available, Lewis has a wealth of potential college destinations to consider.

According to this sought-after 2026 quarterback himself, Penn State football is a priority visit destination for him.

As Penn State football recruiting efforts continue to gain momentum in the coming months, the Nittany Lions are poised to make an early impression on top-ranked recruits in the younger classes, including SEC quarterback target Julian Lewis.
