The finish line is in site for four-star safety [autotag]King Mack[/autotag]. The Florida native has announced he will be making his college decision official on Thursday afternoon, and Penn State only has one team to beat for his commitment.
As previously suggested, Penn State and Michigan State are the final two schools in the running for the Fort Lauderdale recruiting target. Mack made official visits to each in the month of June, with a visit to East Lansing on June 10 and a trip to Happy Valley the following weekend.
Mack is a four-star safety in the Class of 2023 according to the 247Sports composite rankings. Just based on the 247Sports recruiting rankings, Mack is the nation’s No. 7 safety and the No. 122 player in the nation overall.
Penn State is considered the favorite to secure the commitment from MAck. The On3 prediction machine calculates a 98.2% chance of Penn State receiving Mack’s commitment. Every crystal ball prediction filed to 247Sports also favors the Nittany Lions over Michigan State. At this late stage, it would seem to be considered a solid upset of Mack doesn’t choose Penn State.
I will be committing tomorrow at Noon…

Good news appears to be on the horizon for the Nittany Lions, and there could still be more on the way in the coming week. Penn State’s Class of 2023 is already viewed as one of the best classes in the nation. Adding Mack and some potential targets in the coming days and weeks will only continue to solidify Penn State’s standing in the recruiting rankings.
