Penn State football recruiting is off to a fast start under Matt Campbell, and the latest proof is the commitment of elite 2027 defensive tackle Stanley Montgomery. Montgomery gives Penn State one of its top prospects in the class and adds a major piece to the Nittany Lions’ defensive line future.
On this episode of Locked On Nittany Lions, Zach Seyko breaks down what Montgomery brings to Penn State, why his strength and upside stand out, how Matt Campbell prioritized him early, and what this says about the direction of Penn State recruiting. We also discuss the 2027 recruiting class, Kei’Shjuan Telfair, Cooper Terwilliger, Landon Blum, Aiden Gibson, Peter Bourque, Will Wood, quarterback recruiting, running back recruiting, NIL, and the early shape of the class.
This matters because Penn State already has 13 commitments before official visits, and Campbell’s staff appears to be moving quickly in Pennsylvania, the DMV, Florida, and other key recruiting areas. The question now is whether Penn State can keep this momentum going and finish the 2027 class with answers at quarterback, running back, and wide receiver.
Penn State fans, what is the bigger story: Stanley Montgomery’s commitment or how quickly Matt Campbell has this 2027 class moving?
