Penn State Football Secures 3-Star Cornerback Amauri Polydor Commitment

Penn State football has secured a commitment from three-star cornerback Amauri Polydor, the No. 88 cornerback nationally and No. 22 in Maryland, strengthening their 2026 recruiting class, which remains ranked No. 5 nationally. Polydor, a 6-foot-1, 170-pound player from Saint Frances Academy in Baltimore, chose Penn State over Michigan State, Buffalo, and East Carolina, adding depth to the Nittany Lions' defensive backfield. Meanwhile, five-star safety Joey O'Brien, a top Pennsylvania prospect ranked among the best in the 2026 class, is set to announce his college decision on June 20 from a final four that includes Penn State, Oregon, Notre Dame, and Clemson. O'Brien, noted for his versatility as both a defensive back and wide receiver, has visited Penn State and other finalists, with Notre Dame hosting his last visit before the commitment. His decision is highly anticipated and could significantly impact the recruiting landscape for all involved programs. Penn State continues to pursue top talent like O'Brien and offensive lineman Immanuel Iheanacho to build a competitive roster for future seasons.
