Penn State prospects make major moves in updated On300
Penn State’s Class of 2023 made positive strides in Monday’s updated release of the On300. Coming into the weekend, the Nittany Lions had nine committed players inside the top 300. That number has now climbed to 11 players, with three recruits joining the list and just one dropping off.
The player who made the biggest move is St. Thomas Aquinas safety King Mack, who went from outside the On300 all the way up to No. 88 nationally. Mack was previously a three-star prospect by On3, making this one of the biggest moves of any player in the country. Mack, who committed to Penn State at the end of June, impressed many at the FHSAA Class 3A Track & Field State Championships this spring. In addition to taking first place in the 400-meter with a time of 46.68 seconds, he also finished fourth in the 100-meter, running 10.64 seconds.

His high school teammate, safety Conrad Hussey, also made a sizable move, jumping from a three-star player to No. 203 nationally. The Penn State commit impressed scouts at the OT7 competition in Las Vegas at the beginning of June. Hussey was already likely to move up, but that performance had an impact on how high he rose.
One other notable addition to the On300 is Exeter Twp. Joey Schlaffer. Schlaffer was bumped to a four-star player in early June. He’s now moved up again to No. 253 nationally. He and Andrew Rappleyea, who ranks No. 165 nationally, give the Nittany Lions one of the best tight end classes in the nation.
