In the world of college sports, recruiting is a never-ending process that continues until prospects are officially signed and enrolled at the school. The current era of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) has made it even more challenging for schools to convince recruits to commit to their programs. Penn State is currently working hard to flip top in-state quarterback Matt Zollers back to their program, even though he has already committed to Missouri. They are facing competition from another program heavily pursuing their four-star running back commit, Alvin Henderson, who is ranked among the top players in the 2025 class by ESPN.
Auburn is the program making a strong push for Henderson, who committed to Penn State in April. There is speculation among recruiting insiders that he may ultimately choose to stay closer to home and play for the Tigers. Losing Henderson would be a significant setback for Penn State’s 2025 recruiting class, which also includes commitments from Tiqwai Hayes and Kiandrea Barker.
Despite the competition from Auburn, Penn State is scheduled to host Henderson for an official visit on June 14. This visit could be crucial in solidifying his commitment to the Nittany Lions. Fans will be eager to see how this recruitment saga unfolds in the coming weeks. Follow Nittany Lions Wire on X, Facebook, and Threads for updates on this developing story.
