James Franklin steals another 4-star recruit from Penn State

After firing incoming Virginia Tech head coach James Franklin, Penn State football immediately got hit with de-commitments from the Class of 2026 and Class of 2027. The impact Franklin had on those recruits hasn't been clearer ever since they put the Hokies on their new list of finalists once Franklin was hired.

Four-star tight end Pierce Petersohn became the fourth recruit during the week of Thanksgiving to flip to Virginia Tech.
