3. A month to remember

Penn State Football had one of the wildest recruiting months ever back in July of 2021.

The Nittany Lions had 13 2022 recruits commit to them during the month. In addition to that, 2023 5-star recruit Alex Birchmeier also committed to Penn State in July. One of the commits during this frenzy, Tyreese Fearbry, would de-commit before the month came to an end, adding to the craziness of the month. Another one of the July commits, Jordan Allen, would also eventually de-commit.

Here’s the complete list of 2022 signees who committed in July of 2021:

  • 5-star RB Nick Singleton
  • 5-star DE Dani Dennis-Sutton
  • 4-star RB Kaytron Allen
  • 4-star LB Abdul Carter
  • 4-star S K.J. Winston
  • 4-star S Cristian Driver
  • 4-star CB Cam Miller
  • 4-star DT Zane Durant
  • 4-star JUCO OT J.B. Nelson
  • 3-star LB Keon Wylie
  • 3-star DT Kaleb Artis

It’s not likely we see a month like this again any time soon.
