We start with Junior Day.
The Lions hosted players of all ages, of course, for the second of three visit weekends in January. Penn State offered Class of 2024 prospect Peter Jones. It also hosted numerous four-stars, including Georgia linebacker Dee Crayton and offensive lineman Austin Ramsey.

Quote of the day
“It was an amazing visit. Many things stood out, but one big thing was how great the education and after football aspect was, and how the school is able to exceed expectations football and academic wise.
“Penn State is definitely a top contender of mine. I plan on taking other visits and evaluating my options, but the program is definitely high on my list.”
