Ben Whitver Commits to Penn State: A Game-Changing Recruiting Win for the Nittany Lions
Penn State had a successful Saturday with a victory in the Pinstripe Bowl and a significant recruiting win. Wide receiver Ben Whitver committed to Penn State, switching from James Madison. Whitver, a three-star recruit, holds the title of Virginia's all-time leader in receiving yards. He has a strong connection to Penn State, having visited the school multiple times under former coach James Franklin. With Matt Campbell now leading the team, Whitver sees a new opportunity to join the Nittany Lions. This commitment adds to Penn State's growing 2026 class, which now stands at 10 total commitments. Whitver's decision to join Penn State is a testament to the program's recruiting efforts under Campbell's leadership.
