5. IMG Academy (Bradenton, FL)

IMG Academy may be cheating in the sense that they bring in top talent from all over the country to play for them, but Penn State has gotten their fair share of it.

Penn State’s relationship with IMG started in 2014 when 4-star quarterback Michael O’Connor signed with the Nittany Lions. Although his career never materialized in Happy Valley, Penn State continued to target the school.

Star wide receiver  K.J. Hamler was a product of IMG back in the 2017 cycle and current Penn State running back Noah Cain was a 4-star during his days at IMG.

Penn State is hoping that they can pull a few more from IMG with three 4-star 2022 targets down there right now in QB A.J. Duffy, RB Kaytron Allen and OT  Tyler Booker.

Penn State 2022 commit Drew Shelton is headed to IMG, but he committed to the Nittany Lions before heading there.
