Penn State prime target still on USC’s radar

Jaylen Harvey is a top edge rusher from Quince Orchard High School in Gaithersburg, Maryland. This is very much a Big Ten-flavored recruitment. The USC Trojans are still in heavy competiton with Big Ten foes Penn State and Maryland for this prospect.

Penn State has been the favorite to get Harvey’s commitment for a while now. However, according to Adam Friedman at Rivals, both USC and Maryland are still in the race and are making it a difficult decision.

In addition to Penn State, USC and Maryland, Harvey has offers from 20 other schools around the country.

However, according to On3’s prediction model, the Nittany Lions remain heavy favorites (92.4%) to get Harvey’s commitment. Maryland is next at 2.1%, followed by USC at 1.5%.

He’s the No. 344 overall player and the 25 EDGE in the country for the class of 2024, per the 247Sports composite rankings. He’s also the No. 10 player from the state of Maryland.
