In recent months, Penn State has experienced a surge in commitments from top recruits, thanks to the leadership of James Franklin and his staff. After a slow start to their official visit season, the Nittany Lions have been gaining momentum and are now poised to secure a spot among the top classes nationally when the 2025 class rankings are finalized.
One of the key players that will help Penn State achieve this goal is Max Granville, a four-star edge rusher and linebacker from Texas. At 6-foot-3, 225 pounds, Granville was highly sought after by Penn State and other top programs like Texas A&M and Oklahoma. Despite facing tough competition from these schools, Granville ultimately chose Penn State due to his positive feelings towards the program and coaching staff.
During an official visit in late May, Granville was impressed by what Penn State had to offer. Although he had additional visits planned to Texas A&M and Oklahoma, Penn State managed to secure a commitment from the No. 167 player in the 2025 class. Granville’s father, who played for the Cincinnati Bengals, played a key role in his recruitment and was impressed by what Penn State had to offer. However, it was Granville’s mother who ultimately made the final decision, with Penn State leaving a strong impression on her and her family.
With Granville now committed, Penn State has landed their 18th recruit in the class, solidifying their standing in the recruiting rankings. Keep an eye out for more updates on Penn State football news by following Nittany Lions Wire on XoSocial Media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter.
