In a major recruiting shake-up, a five-star quarterback has decommitted from Michigan State and committed to Penn State, turning down a reported $6.4 million NIL offer in the process. The highly rated signal-caller also passed on offers from powerhouse programs like Notre Dame and Florida State.
Sources close to the decision say the quarterback prioritized Penn State’s coaching stability, offensive system, and long-term development opportunities over short-term financial incentives.
This move gives Penn State a significant boost at the quarterback position and sends a message across college football that some top recruits are still choosing fit and future over money.
