Penn State extends offer to Texas A&M DL Elijah Jeudy

Penn State among the first offers for Texas A&M DL transfer

Penn State likes to keep the top talent in Pennsylvania close to home on the recruiting trail, but sometimes some of the best talent lands elsewhere when it comes time to make a commitment. But, thanks to the transfer portal, Penn State has an opportunity to bring a former top 10 recruit from the state back home.

Elijah Jeudy, a defensive lineman from Texas A&M, was among the hundreds of players to enter the transfer portal on Monday, and Penn State was quick to extend an offer to the Philadelphia native. Jeudy announced he received an offer from Penn State on his Twitter account on Monday. The former All-American Bowl recruit with a four-star rating from 247Sports is pretty familiar with Penn State from his high school recruiting process, and the Nittany Lions coaching staff is likely hoping that helps create an inside track to adding Jeudy to the program from the transfer portal.

Jeudy made four unofficial visits to Penn State in 2019 and one back in 2018 early on in the recruiting process for the Class of 2021. Jeudy eventually became a hot target for Texas A&M and the Aggies took momentum in the recruiting process. Jeudy committed to the Aggies in the Class of 2021 and enrolled early in January 2021. Jeudy redshirted for Texas A&M in 2021 and made appearances in two games this season.

Penn State isn’t the only school hoping to lure Jeudy their way from the portal. Among the other offers Jeudy announced he had received on Monday included Nebraska, Boston College Syracuse, Virginia Tech, and Colorado. Jeudy also announced he will be making a visit to Nebraska this weekend. Nebraska recently hired Matt Rhule, who was a successful head coach at Temple, so expect the Philly connection to be Rhule’s strategy on his recruiting pitch.

Penn State is in a good spot with the top of its defensive line heading into 2023 but it never hurts to add quality depth to the roster, and Jeudy has the potential to still be an impact player in the right spot. Jeudy’s transfer decision will be one worth paying close attention to for Penn State.

Former 4-star Texas A&M EDGE with ties to Oregon, Dan Lanning enters transfer portal

Before committing to Texas A&M, Elijah Jeudy had Oregon and Georgia in his top 5 and developed a close relationship with Dan Lanning.

An interesting name popped up in the transfer portal on Saturday night, for any Oregon Duck fans who were interested enough to notice.

It was reported that Texas A&M EDGE rusher Elijah Jeudy, a redshirt freshman, was planning to enter the portal and find a new home after not seeing much of the field in College Station.

Jeudy stands at 6-foot-3, 245 pounds and is a former 4-star recruit that was rated by 247Sports as the No. 14 EDGE in the 2021 recruiting class.

This announcement is interesting for a couple of reasons. Not only did Jeudy list the Oregon Ducks among his top-5 schools during his recruitment back in 2020, but he also included the Georgia Bulldogs. Who was his lead recruiter with Georgia? None other than Dan Lanning.

With no inside information on the matter, I would expect Lanning to be reaching out to Jeudy in the near future and trying to see what he can do to bring the massive defender up to Eugene this offseason and marry those three coincidental facts.

We’re getting into portal season, and I expect the Ducks to be aggressive. This is an early name to keep an eye on.

Texas A&M pulled off the stunner of the weekend after defeating the then-5th-ranked LSU Tigers 38-23 in front of over 93,000 fans inside Kyle Field, but just hours after, news came out that redshirt sophomore defensive end Elijah Jeudy had thrown his name into the transfer portal.

Finishing the 2022 season 5-7, and 2-6 in the SEC, fans knew that changes would be made after the end of the season, including current players on the roster entering their names into the transfer portal after what was a roller coaster of a regular season.

For Jeudy, this decision isn’t too much of a surprise as the talented edge defender couldn’t find his way on the field in two seasons with the program, appearing in a total of two games. Coming out of Northeast High School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Jeudy was a 4-Star prospect who joined his Northeast teammate, and current Aggie starting cornerback Tyreek Chappell in the 2021 recruiting class, hoping to make an instant impact in College Station with the program as soon as year two.

Kirby Smart, Dan Lanning, and UGA have decent class of 2021 brewing thus far. Georgia has a good start on defensive ends in the class with commitments from in-state four-star DE Jonathan Jefferson and Elijah Jeudy.

If Zaire Patterson commits to Clemson, then Georgia may see him in week one of 2021.

Georgia football lands 2021 4-star Elijah Jeudy

Georgia football picked up a commitment from 4-star 2021 DE Elijah Jeudy on Sunday.

Georgia’s 2021 recruiting class is starting to take shape, and it’s only a matter of time before the Dawgs are once again in the running for the top class in the nation.

On Sunday, Georgia picked up a commitment from four-star class of 2021 weak-side defensive end Elijah Jeudy, who announced his commitment to UGA via Instagram Live.

Jeudy, who is celebrating a birthday today, plays football for Northeast High School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

At 6-foot-3 and 246 pounds, the edge rusher ranks as the nation’s No. 167 overall prospect and No. 12 weak-side defensive end.

Jeudy also put Texas A&M, Tennessee, Oregon and LSU in his top five. But in the end, it was the Dawgs who came out on top.

“Georgia, it feels like home down there. They show a lot of love to their family and to me,” Jeudy said during an interview with Rivals last week.

247Sports has compared Jeudy to Dallas Cowboys star DeMarcus Lawrence.

Here is their evaluation of Jeudy:

Jeudy has length and ideal size for rush end who can drop into coverage. Developed body has godo lower body strength. Athletic with burst and ability to change direction. Flexibility to dip shoulder and explode around edge. Uses hands well to keep offensive lineman off. Can re-direct down line of scrimmage. Excellent body control. Strong with gap integrity. Takes on blocks from proper side. Uses angles well. Willing to try different moves. Quick first step inside.

UGA now has seven commitments in the class of 2021:

5-star QB Brock Vandagriff

4-star OT Micah Morris

4-star DB David Daniel

4-star RB Lovasea Carroll

4-star SDE Jonathan Jefferson
