Penn State football’s 2028 recruiting class has the potential to become one of Matt Campbell’s most important classes, with elite talent emerging throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Zach Seyko and Prep Redzone Next national scouting director Al Pops (https://x.com/AlPopsFootball) break down the regional prospects Penn State fans need to know.
The discussion includes Penn State commits James Armstrong and Deonte Flemings Jr., along with major offensive targets Ty Winn, Carter Barrett, Nick Anderson, Lorenzo McMullen Jr., Mekhi Parker and David Forster. On defense, the focus turns to George Parkinson IV, Tyzon Swann, Cam Toomey, Brandon Murphy, Tahj Gray, Nasir Richardson, Adrian and Amir Woodward, Phoenix Evans and the potential of an elite Terry Smith secondary.
Penn State already has important relationships and geographic advantages throughout the Northeast, but Ohio State, Notre Dame, Oregon, LSU and other national programs will also pursue many of these prospects. Can Matt Campbell and his staff keep the best regional talent home and turn the 2028 class into a foundational group?
Which 2028 prospect should be Penn State’s highest priority? Share your must-get recruit in the comments.
