Penn State is picking up steam in handing out scholarship offers to potential future Nittany Lions. After hosting a number of potential recruits for a mid-summer camp and barbeque, a number of recruiting targets have returned home with scholarship offers from James Franklin and the Penn State coaching staff. One player returning home with such an offer is Michigan three-star offensive lineman Benjamin Eziuka.
Eziuka is a 6-3, 290-pound offensive lineman in the Class of 2026 that currently ranks 13th overall in the state of Michigan according to 247Sports. Penn State’s offer is just the second in hand for Eziuka from a program from one of the power conferences. Kentucky is the other on the table at the moment. On3’s recruiting prediction machine gives Penn State the early edge over the Wildcats with a 41.7% chance of securing his commitment.
Other programs with offers to Eziuka at this moment include a number of MAC schools; Akron, Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Kent State, Miami Ohio, Toledo, and Western Michigan.
