Penn State Lands Top Rhode Island DE

Penn State just snagged a huge win in the 2027 recruiting race with four-star defensive end Elijah Guertin, the top prospect in Rhode Island and a national edge rusher elite. At 6’5” and 255 lbs, Guertin, despite missing time due to injury last season, earned first-team all-state honors and dominated with his pass-rushing ability. He chose Penn State over heavy hitters like Michigan, Tennessee, and Florida, making this a major coup for a position of need. Now the second DE in their 2027 class, Guertin joins a rising class of 21 commitments — currently ranked seventh nationally — including safety Caleb Cooper and long snapper Clayton Powell. But the Nittany Lions aren’t stopping there; they’re still chasing receivers Khalil Taylor and Deshawn Hall, cornerback Dhillon McGee, and linebacker Case Alexander — whose brother already wears Nittany Lions gear.
