Penn State Lands Top Safety Caleb Cooper

Penn State just added a big piece to their 2027 class with the commitment of three-star safety Caleb Cooper, who chose them over Ohio State, Kentucky, Virginia Tech, and Wisconsin after an official visit. Standing 6-foot-tall and weighing 205 pounds, Cooper is ranked 74th overall and 77th at his position by Rivals, with solid junior stats including 97 tackles, 6 pass breakups, and a touchdown return. His pledge brings Penn State’s 2027 class to 21 players, ranked 18th nationally and 6th in the Big Ten — with many projected to play key offensive roles. The emotional connection players feel to the program, like wide receiver Jamir Dean who’s loyal to Penn State despite Georgia’s interest, is proving vital. And with four-star WR Khalil Taylor, previously committed under the old staff, still in the mix, the Nittany Lions are building momentum under new leadership.
