Penn State came into the day with four of its 11 committed players ranked inside the Rivals300 for the 2027 class. Now, that number has climbed to five<\/p>\n
Back in February, linebacker Blake Betton<\/a> was promoted to a four-star prospect but was outside of the Rivals300. Now, following Monday\u2019s update, Betton is just inside the top 300 at No. 294 nationally. <\/p>\n As for Penn State\u2019s other four commits, cornerback Kei\u2019shjuan Telfair<\/a>, who just announced for the Nittany Lions on Sunday<\/a>, was the only one to see his ranking change, moving up 24 spots to No. 92 overall. He\u2019s now the 12th-ranked cornerback in the country. Tight end Cooper Terwilliger<\/a> remains at No. 239, followed by cornerback Semajay Robinson<\/a> at No. 254 and wide receiver Landon Blum<\/a> at No. 278.<\/p>\n A few of Penn State\u2019s top remaining targets in the class also made sizable moves. In addition to Downingtown native Abraham Sesay earning a five-star promotion<\/a>, another Pennsylvania native, defensive tackle Stanley Montgomery<\/a>, joined the Rivals300 for the first time. The Philadelphia native made one of the biggest moves of any recruit, climbing from an 88 three-star rating all the way to No. 104 in the country. New York defensive tackle Zahmar Tookes<\/a> was already named a four-star prospect, but he also made a significant jump, debuting at No. 181 overall in the Rivals300.<\/p>\n Nittany Lion fans can see the complete list of Penn State targets below. <\/p>\n PSU Recruits in updated Rivals300<\/p>\n \u2013 If not noted, player ranking didn\u2019t change from previous update<\/p>\n 9) DL David Folorunsho<\/a> (+4) Link: Penn State back among Top 15 in Team Recruiting Rankings<\/a><\/p>\n 159) LB Brayton Feister<\/a>
