On top of having some of the most high expectations for its 2025-26 season in the country, Penn State football also has pressure to impress class of 2027 recruits after tumbling down in the 2026 recruitment rankings.
Five-star Kennedy Brown, the No. 1 overall, offensive tackle, and Texas recruit, named his top teams ahead of the fall. The Nittany Lions are one of seven. Oregon, Texas, Texas A&M, SMU, Georgia, and Clemson are the other likely contenders, as of now, to land the five-star recruit.
According to On3 Rivals, Brown took unofficial visits to Texas, Texas A&M, Oregon, and Clemson during the spring and start of summer.
