BREAKING NEWS: Penn State Lands Commitment from Top-Ranked Recruit, Daniel Jennings
In a significant recruiting victory, the Penn State Nittany Lions have secured a commitment from Daniel Jennings, a highly touted edge rusher who was previously ranked as the No. 1 player in the 2026 class. Jennings has reclassified to the 2025 class and officially signed with Penn State, choosing the Nittany Lions over powerhouse programs like Ohio State, Tennessee, and Alabama.
Standing at 6-foot-2 and weighing 250 pounds, Jennings hails from Princeton High School in West Virginia. His decision to reclassify and commit to Penn State provides an immediate boost to the team’s defensive line depth for the upcoming season. Jennings’ addition is part of a broader influx of talent for the Nittany Lions, who have recently added ten freshmen from the 2025 recruiting class to their roster, including five-star offensive lineman Malachi Goodman, the nation’s fifth-ranked offensive tackle.
This commitment underscores head coach James Franklin’s commitment to strengthening the team’s competitiveness in the Big Ten and on the national stage. With Jennings and other high-caliber recruits joining the fold, Penn State is poised to make a significant impact in the upcoming season.
