Penn State 2027 QB target to announce commitment next week

Despite Penn State’s overall success in the last decade, one of the key components of the team holding them back from reaching the pinnacle of college football has been the quarterback position. There hasn’t been a lack of talent, with the Nittany Lions trotting out four-star passer Sean Clifford and five-star signal caller Drew Allar for the past nine seasons.

Both players ended up being disappointing to varying degrees, which has put a hard cap on the team’s ceiling. There’s no way to see into the future, but Penn State’s luck could be changing, as four-star quarterback Peter Bourque is currently mulling where he will go to school, and the Nittany Lions are near the top of his list.

He visited last month during spring practices, and now Hayes Fawcett of Rivals is reporting that he will announce his commitment next week. Bourque decommitted from Michigan back in February, but they are still an option along with Penn State and Georgia.

The top 2027 quarterback on the market also has an offer from Virginia Tech, so Nittany Lions fans would love to crush James Franklin’s dreams of landing yet another prospect. Matt Campbell and his staff have been waiting a couple of months to land their quarterback of the future, and he could be coming as soon as next Thursday.
