Penn State extends offers to two 2028 in-state recruiting targets

[ASFN Admin]

Penn State has a very important couple of weeks left in the 2027 recruiting cycle. With several high-profile prospects visiting this weekend, the Nittany Lions will look to add to their already fantastic class. However, they may not be adding many more prospects in the state. With only four-star wideout Khalil Taylor truly interested in staying in state, Matt Campbell will have failed to recruit many players in his first Penn State class. Should Taylor commit, he would only be the fifth in-state prospect in the class.

Now, that means that the Nittany Lions will turn their sights to the 2028 class, where even more homegrown talent lies. Just this week, Matt Campbell extended offers to two four-star prospects who could give him a stronghold on Pennsylvania for the next cycle. Four-star offensive lineman Nick Anderson and four-star corner Kia Jones Jr. are two players that Campbell seems to be aggressive on early. Both are ranked in the top 10 in the state, per Rivals, and both could instill a Nittany Lions-based culture as well.

Wow! Extremely blessed to receive an offer from Penn state! @CoachMC_PSU@CoachTerryPSU@theking1@CoachStorino@Coachstorinod

Penn State football offered 2028 Kiski Area (PA) offensive lineman Nick Anderson following its prospect camp on Wednesday. He is the son of Nittany Lion letterman Bill Anderson.

Anderson could be an important recruit as he is a legacy player. His father played for the Nittany Lions, which could offer a new sense of connection. While the class of 2027 was not a huge success in the state of Pennsylvania, Campbell is making an effort to be redeemed with his focus on building that homegrown culture. Hopefully, it ends up paying off on the recruiting trail.
