Where do Penn State's 2024 commits rank in updated On300?
Penn State’s Class of 2024 received another boost Monday, with multiple players making positive moves within the updated On300.
As was the case previously, the Nittany Lions still have 11 players inside the On300, but a few of them made significant moves upwards, including offensive lineman Cooper Cousins. Back in the spring, Cousins briefly dropped out of the On300 before climbing back in following camps in June. Now, following a strong start to his senior season, Cousins has climbed another 85 spots from No. 214 to No. 129.
Offensive lineman Garrett Sexton remains the highest rank prospect in the class at No. 46 overall, while three others also rank among the Top 100, including DE Mylachi Williams (No. 68), Ath. Liam Andrews (No. 77) and TE Luke Reynolds (No. 82).
Quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer also made a notable move, climbing 38 spots to No. 137 nationally. He’s now the 10th-ranked quarterback in the nation, according to On3.

Cooper’s big rise is not a surprise. Just a few weeks ago, On3 Director of Scouting Charles Power wrote that he’s been impressed with the Penn State commit during the early part of his senior season.
“There are several blue-chip interior offensive linemen who are playing center as seniors – something we don’t always see,” Power wrote earlier this month. “Of that group, Penn State commit Cooper Cousins has looked the most impressive thus far. For one, Cousins has rare size for the position at over 6-foot-6, 305 pounds. Despite being that tall, he’s shown outstanding balance and leverage. Cousins plays with a great base and gets low, driving through his hips to uproot defensive linemen.
“He’s also shown plus movement skills, getting to the second level as a puller. The Erie (Pa.) McDowell product is a bully in the run game and has heavy hands on contact. His size and anchor also project very well as a pass protector on the interior.”
Grunkemeyer seeing a 30-plus spot jump should not be a shock, either. His senior tape has backed up his impressive Elite 11 performance and other impressive performances from the summer.
