Penn State is off to a solid start with its Class of 2023 recruiting efforts, but there is always room for a four-star linebacker. This week, Penn State sent a scholarship offer to one such player, and this is one with NFL genes.
Jamal Anderson, a four-star linebacker in the Class of 2023 out of Georgia, announced he has received an offer from Penn State. The offer is the latest in an already substantial offer sheet, and one that will surely be growing moving forward too.
If the name Jamall Anderson sounds familiar, that’s because his dad is a former NFL running back by the same name. The elder Jamal Anderson was a former star of the Atlanta Falcons. With those Georgia roots, it’s no surprise that some of the schools that have hopped into the early recruiting mix for the younger Anderson come from the south.
Clemson is among the favorites to land Anderson’s commitment, although Michigan State may be Penn State’s biggest threat within the Big Ten.
Here’s a look at Anderson’s recruiting profile.
