Penn State Gains Hope in Eglitis Recruitment

Penn States football recruiting for the Class of 2026 is gaining momentum as several players, including three-star offensive tackle Pete Eglitis, who had committed to Iowa State, are now reopening their recruitment. Eglitis, ranked as the seventy-eighth recruit from Ohio, has not yet visited Penn State but is considering a move after Iowa States head coach Matt Campbell joined the Nittany Lions. The addition of Iowa States former offensive line coach, Ryan Clanton, to Penn States staff further boosts their chances of securing Eglitis. This development is crucial for Penn State, which aims to secure solid three-star recruits after a challenging 2025 season.
