Penn State football and Georgia emerge as the final contenders for the commitment of a 4-star quarterback.

Penn State football finds itself in the Final 4 contenders for the commitment of four-star quarterback Matt Zollers, as reported by HayesFawcett3 on X. The Nittany Lions are up against the Georgia Bulldogs, Mizzou Tigers, and Pittsburgh Panthers in the race to secure Zollers’ services. In the 4231Sports recruiting rankings, he holds the impressive positions of No. 9 quarterback and No. 148 overall player. Zollers, a 6’4″ prospect from the 2025 class, boasts considerable size for his age.

Being a Pennsylvania native, Zollers may have a home advantage, and the proximity to his home state could play a pivotal role in his recruitment decision. While he seems inclined towards staying in-state, Penn State football faces stiff competition from Georgia. The challenge lies in recruiting against a team with two National Titles in the last three years, but much will depend on Zollers’ personal preferences.

Zollers has also received offers from Boston College, Nebraska, Florida, Michigan State, and several other Power Five programs. Despite his size suggesting a pocket passer, Zollers stands out as an exceptionally athletic quarterback with dual-threat capabilities.

Penn State head coach James Franklin and the football program have consistently assembled talented rosters, but quarterback play has been a limiting factor. Securing a quarterback with the potential for early impact is crucial for the Nittany Lions. The recruitment of Zollers holds significant importance for Penn State football, and their advantage lies in Zollers’ Pennsylvania residency.
