Penn State and most major Division I programs were up late last night reaching out to Class of 2026 prospects to show their interest. In previous years, coaches couldn’t contact high school juniors until August 1, but that’s been updated now to June 15. That made yesterday an incredibly busy day for Penn State’s coaching and recruiting staff. In addition to hosting official visitors and a 7-on-7 tournament, they also had to contact recruits at midnight.

So who are some of the prospects that the Nittany Lions contacted? Below are some graphics that prospects have posted publicly through Saturday morning.
