Penn State has started to pick up their recruiting efforts for the class of 2024 in recent months. The class started out looking bleak, but has picked up some serious momentum. The Nittany Lions are now up to six commitments with some speculation there could be another coming soon.
Penn State has their sights set on beefing up their offensive line for the 2024 class. They already secured four-star prospect [autotag]Cooper Cousins[/autotag] in January, but have been recruiting others in the class to join him.
[autotag]Garrett Sexton[/autotag] is a 6’7″ 245 pound prospect from Wisconsin. The three-star offensive lineman included the Nittany Lions on his list after his unofficial visit in late March. 18 schools have offered Sexton a scholarship, but he cut his list to four schools on Thursday.
Included in his announcement was that he’ll be making deciding on which program he’ll commit to on May 1st.
The three other schools in his top four are Oklahoma, Minnesota and Iowa.

On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine has Minnesota in the lead to land the three-star prospect. They give the Golden Gophers a 30.2% chance to get Sexton. He’s had two unofficial visits to the campus and looks to be the strong leader in his recruitment.
Penn State is currently sitting at a 9.9% chance to get Sexton, but the machine hasn’t been updated since he announced his top four schools. Out of the other programs on the list, Penn State has the third best odds to get him according to the Recruiting Prediction Machine.
247Sports has the recruiting rankings very close between Penn State, Iowa and Minnesota. They are ranked third, fourth and fifth respectively in the Big Ten for the 2024 class.
