Running Back

Penn State currently does not have a running back commit in the 2021 class. Considering it is a smaller class, it was the right move due to four of Penn State’s five scholarship running backs being a sophomore or younger.

Penn State will need to replenish that depth though, as Journey Brown will more than likely be going pro after this season, and both Noah Cain and Devyn Ford will be draft eligible after next season.

The team will likely take two in this class, and with Ja’Juan Seider leading the charge on the recruiting trail, that shouldn’t be much of an issue to do.

Names to know include Nicholas Singleton, Tevin White, George Pettaway, Arlen Harris Jr., Omarion Hampton and Samuel Brown.
