The Penn State football recruiting department provides a glimpse into the top players and an 'unpolished gem' of the Nittany Lions' 2025 recruiting class.
on a low-key signing day last week, which preceded the Nittany Lions’ appearance in the Big Ten Championship Game. Before heading to Indianapolis, members of Penn State’s recruiting staff discussed the 27-player class, its players to watch and an “unpolished gem.” Here are some takeaways.When looking at Penn State’s 2025 recruiting class, 3-star quarterback Bekkem Kritza might not draw many eyes. But Penn State’s recruiting staff was incredibly high on the passer when discussing him last week.
Andy Frank, Penn State’s general of personnel and recruitment, also spoke highly of Kritza, complimenting his height , his ability to maneuver in the pocket and keep his eyes downfield. “He came to camp with us two years ago, so we got a pretty good idea who he is, and he has a chance to be a weapon for us here in the near future,” Franklin said., the son of legendary Nittany Lions linebacker LaVar Arrington. Frank acknowledged that many will draw comparisons between father and son, but Penn State was focused only on the younger Arrington while recruiting him. He spoke highly of Arrington’s edge-rushing ability, as well as his twitch and bend.
Sanders touched on Malachi Coleman, a 4-star offensive lineman who’s one of the program’s top commits of the class. Sanders said Coleman is coming in at a great size physically and will have an opportunity to compete for reps as a freshman.
