Penn State’s successful recruitment of four-star wide receiver Davion Brown was significantly influenced by a longstanding relationship between the coaching staff and Brown, dating back to his early high school years. The Nittany Lions extended an offer to Brown in June 2022, before he had played a single high school game, demonstrating their early and sustained interest in his development.
Brown, a standout at Trinity Episcopal School in Richmond, Virginia, chose Penn State over offers from prominent programs such as Georgia, Duke, and Virginia Tech. He cited the program’s culture, coaching, and development opportunities as key factors in his decision. His commitment adds to Penn State’s strong 2026 recruiting class, which now includes 17 commitments and ranks fourth nationally according to the 247Sports Composite Team Rankings.
This recruitment underscores the importance of early and consistent engagement in building strong relationships with prospective student-athletes.
