Penn State recruiting: Nittany Lions to host four-star linebacker next week

Next week, James Franklin and the Penn State Nittany Lions will host a major prospect in the 2024 recruiting class. On Friday, March 17th, Penn State recruiting will have a massive opportunity at gaining some momentum with a top linebacker target, who will be on his unofficial visit to State College.

Penn State recruiting must seal the deal

So far, Penn State recruiting has pulled four players in the 2024 class — all four are four-star recruits, and the Lions’ class now ranks in the top-15 nationally. Next week, James Franklin has a chance to make a lasting impression on another major name in the 2024 class, here is who the Nittany Lions will have a shot at:

Bodie Kahoun to visit Penn State

Bodie Kahoun is a four-star linebacker in the 2024 class — he is ranked as the No. 347 player in the nation, the No. 36 linebacker, and the No. 5 player in Virginia. Kahoun is currently favored to land in his home state at Virginia Tech; however, don’t count out Penn State recruiting just yet as the Nittany Lions have been very influential on the nation’s top prospects as of late. If Kahoun wants to develop into a top NFL prospect, where better to go than ‘LBU?’

Kahound has a few others hot on the trail right now, such as NC State, Tennessee, Notre Dame, and West Virginia (who is Penn State’s Week 1 opponent in 2023). While it may seem a bit unlikely that the Nittany Lions can change things this quickly, Penn State recruiting has to start somewhere, and there’s no better way to change Kahoun’s mind than with a visit to Happy Valley.
