Caleb Cooper Commits to Penn State

Penn State just landed a big win in the 2027 recruiting class with Caleb Cooper, a three-star safety from North Carolina who’s one of the nation’s top at his position. He chose the Nittany Lions over Wisconsin, Virginia Tech, Ohio State, and Florida — and after a surprise offer during an unofficial visit in June, he committed quickly. Cooper’s got elite stats: 97 tackles, an interception, and a kick return TD last season, plus first-team all-state honors from a powerhouse NC school. With this commitment, Penn State’s momentum continues after a strong official visit weekend. The Lions are also eyeing receivers Khalil Taylor and Deshawn Hall, with Taylor set to announce July 6. Meanwhile, Virginia Tech has surged ahead in the national rankings for the 2027 class — making this a fierce, high-stakes recruiting battle.
