Penn State has been busy on the recruiting trail trying to find the next young quarterback that they want to come into the program. Drew Allar, the highest rated quarterback prospect to sign with Penn State since Christian Hackenberg, was part of the 2022 class. In theory, the five-star recruit could declare for the NFL Draft following the 2024-25 season.
With that in mind, it doesn’t come as a huge surprise that James Franklin and his offensive coordinator, Mike Yurcich, are looking to add quarterback talent.
Besides Allar, the depth chart behind him is redshirt freshman Beau Pribula and true freshman Jaxon Smolik. Overall, this season is a young quarterback room which is something that Penn State hasn’t had to deal with for a few seasons.
Right now, there are zero quarterbacks committed in the rising 2024 class that ranks sixth nationally according to 247Sports. That’s why there has been an emphasis in recent weeks to recruit the position.
Yurcich has now offered three uncommitted quarterbacks from the 2024 class a scholarship. Those players are Tyler Cherry, Ethan Grunkemeyer and Trever Jackson.
Here is some more information about each of these players.
