Penn State loses longtime commitment in 2025 recruiting class

Penn State lost a key running back commitment from its Class of 2025, at least for now.

As Penn State continues to get ready for the upcoming season that is now under three weeks away, things continue to happen on the recruiting trail.

The 2025 class has been a roller coaster for the Nittany Lions, getting some high-profile out of state prospects, but also failing to land some of the best players in the state of Pennsylvania.

It has also seen some flips occurring, with Penn State seeing some players leaving the group, but also gaining one of their own.

On Tuesday, the Nittany Lions lost another player who was committed to them after three-star running back [autotag]Kiandrea Barker[/autotag] announced he is now opening up his recruitment.

Barker had been part of Penn State’s 2025 recruiting class since he committed to them back in April 2023 shortly after attending the Blue-White Game.

He chose the Nittany Lions over some other high-profile Power 4 schools like Florida State, Miami, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, SMU and UCF.

In his statement, he said that he is still considering Penn State as he opens up his recruitment again, but for now, they are now down to two running back commitments in the current cycle.

Barker now becomes the second running back to decommit from the Nittany Lions, following Alvin Henderson who flipped his decision to Auburn. That allowed [autotag]James Franklin[/autotag] and his staff to bring in four-star [autotag]Jabree Wallace-Coleman[/autotag] to keep the number at three, but they are now back down to two commits at that position.

There’s no indication Penn State will be looking for another running back at this point in time to join this class, or that they will continue to recruit Barker following his decommitment.

The Nittany Lions now have 23 recruits in their 2025 class.

In-state four-star RB Jabree Wallace-Coleman commits to Penn State

Penn State picks up four-star RB commitment days after another flipped to an SEC school.

Penn State saw one running back commitment flip from the Nittany Lions to Auburn last week, but that spot in the Class of 2025 has already been filled by another running back recruit. [autotag]Jabree Wallace-Coleman[/autotag], from Philadelphia’s Imhotep Institute, committed to Penn State on Saturday evening.

Wallace-Coleman, a 6′-0″, 205-lb running back, committed to the Nittany  Lions following his official visit to the campus this weekend. The visit with Penn State followed official visits to Michigan State and North Carolina last week. Wallace-Coleman visited Penn State for a Junior Day event in late January and was offered by James Franklin and his staff back in December 2021. Penn State was among the first handful of offers to be extended to the Philadelphia recruit, and the first Big Ten program in the mix.

Wallace-Coleman previously had been committed to Georgia but he backed off that early commitment in December 2023. Once Georgia was seemingly off the table, Penn State became a trendy pick for his commitment, although North Carolina and Michigan State were the other top contenders, with the Tar Heels likely being the more viable threat to the Nittany Lions.

Wallace-Coleman’s commitment days after watching Alvin Henderson, an Alabama native, flip his commitment from Penn State to Auburn. Wallace-Coleman is rated as a four-star recruit by On3, Rivals, and ESPN, but just three stars by 247Sports. The 247Sports composite rankings does have Wallace-Coleman rated as a four-star player, however. Wallace-Coleman is one of Pennsylvania’s top 10 players overall in the Class of 2025. Penn State also has commitments in the Class of 2025 from running backs Kiandrea Barker and Tiqwai Hayes.

Penn State has been working to keep a pipeline open at Imhotep Institute. Penn State already has Keon Wylie, Kenneth Woseley, and Tyseer Denmark in the program. Penn State is hoping to be able to flip another one of Wallace-Coleman’s teammates, edge rusher Zahir Mathis. Mathis, a four-star edge rusher, is currently committed to Ohio State but did reportedly visit Penn State this weekend.

Here is an updated look at Penn State’s Class of 2025.
