Penn State’s next QB target couldn’t be more obvious after whiffing on elite 2027 4-star

The Nittany Lions lost out on Teddy Jarrard on Thursday, so now James Franklin can turn his full attention to Peter Bourque in the 2027 class.

It hasn’t been a great run for Penn State on the recruiting trail lately, especially at the quarterback position. The Nittany Lions recently watched 2026 commit Peyton Falzone flip to Auburn, and then on Thursday, James Franklin and his staff missed out on 2027 four-star Teddy Jarrard in another recruiting loss to Notre Dame.
