Some people consider Penn State a school that specializes in developing tight ends, while others, namely Abdul Carter, think of it as “Edge U,” a program that produces elite edge rushers. However, recent seasons suggest that the Nittany Lions’ main area of expertise is the running back position.
They have produced some of the most dominant running backs in recent NFL history with the likes of Kansas City Chiefs legend Larry Johnson and Philadelphia Eagles star Saquon Barkley. While Penn State is getting ready to send Kaytron Allen and Nicholas Singleton to the draft, they are looking for the heir to the throne.
They have a viable candidate in four-star running back Quinton Martin Jr., but they still have their eye on the future as well. Tre Segarra is widely viewed as one of the best rushers in the nation and a top prospect in the Class of 2027.
He gave a list of the five schools he is seriously considering committing to, and the Nittany Lions made the cut.
They hosted Segarra last weekend and have been holding out hope that they can get him back on campus, so this revelation certainly makes that seem likely. The consensus four-star running back ran for 1,460 yards to go along with 17 touchdowns in his junior season.
Penn State will be contending with the reigning national champion Indiana Hoosiers, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Stanford for Segarra’s services. Landing this commitment would be another huge recruiting achievement for Matt Campbell after just a few months on the job.
