If you’re a fan of major college football recruiting — even a die-hard — chances are you have not heard the name Rukeem Stroud come up yet. Stroud is an unranked 2025 corner from Tampa Bay Tech in Tampa, FL, he stands at 6 feet tall and weighs in around 145 pounds. On Thursday, Penn State head football coach James Franklin offered him a massive opportunity: his first Division 1 football offer.

James Franklin offers Rukeem Stroud

Rukeem Stroud may not be a name that many are thinking of right now, but don’t count this 2025 prospect out just yet. There’s a reason James Franklin wants him in State College, and as  Stroud develops into a senior prospect, he could start gaining more national attention.
