In a stunning turn of events, five-star quarterback Therrian Alexander has committed to Penn State, turning down powerhouse Ohio State and several other top programs. Widely expected to join the Buckeyes, Alexander instead chose the Nittany Lions, sending shockwaves through the college football world.
Sources close to Alexander say his decision was influenced by Penn State’s strong quarterback development, offensive scheme, and close relationship with head coach James Franklin. He was reportedly impressed by their vision for him as the centerpiece of their future offense. Additionally, Penn State’s recent success in recruiting top-tier talent played a crucial role in his choice.
Ohio State had long been considered the frontrunner, but with an already loaded quarterback room, Alexander saw a clearer path to early playing time at Penn State. The opportunity to be “the guy” from day one factored heavily into his decision.
This commitment is a massive win for Penn State, solidifying their position as a rising force in the Big Ten. As for Ohio State, they will have to pivot quickly in their recruiting strategy after losing out on one of the most highly coveted quarterbacks in the country.
