Penn State has developed some of the best defensive players in college and the NFL in recent years, like Green Bay Packers edge rusher Micah Parsons and Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr. While the school has shown a prowess on that side of the ball, they surprisingly haven’t molded many elite pass rushers.
There are a few to be excited about on the Nittany Lions’ current roster, namely defensive end Max Granville, but the team is looking for another contributor with a ton of potential. Hayes Fawcett of Rivals announced earlier today that the team is a finalist for four-star edge rusher George Parkinson IV.
The massive defensive lineman has Penn State grouped with five other teams, including a pair of Big Ten rivals in Oregon and Ohio State. They’ll also be battling the LSU Tigers for the four-star recruit, but it should bode well for the Nittany Lions that he is a Pennsylvania native.
Typically, that can push a school over the edge, but it should be noted that Penn State has had some difficulty bringing in recruits from its state and the surrounding areas. Just last month they lost a three-star cornerback in Zachary Gleason Jr., who is from Pittsburgh, so they shouldn’t get ahead of themselves in the race for Parkinson IV.
Penn State already has a couple four-star prospects who have committed from the Class of 2028. Earning a commitment from Parkinson IV would further elevate a class that is already near the top of the national rankings.
