For the second time in a matter of days, Penn State has lost a member of its Class of 2025. Days after losing a four-star running back to an SEC school, Penn State has lost a four-star linebacker to a Big Ten rival . DJ McClary announced on his social media profile on Sunday that he has committed to Rutgersmoving on from his original Penn State commitment from last September.
McClary has committed to Penn State on September 24, 2023. The timing of the move is interesting given that McClary has visited Penn State over the past two weeks following a visit to Rutgers in late May.
McClary’s loss of commitment bothers the defensive side of the recruiting class a bit. Penn State is down to just one linebacker in the 2025 class at the moment with Dayshaun Burnett, from Pittsburgh. Burnett is a four-star recruit according to 247Sports and Rivals, but only has a three-star rating from On3.
This is the second four-star player to abandon his commitment to Penn State in recent days. Alabama running back Alvin Henderson announced that he has changed his commitment from Penn State to Auburn. In both cases, the player opting out of his commitment to Penn State is staying closer to home with an in-state program.
However, Penn State made some commitments this weekend. Penn State has committed running back Jabree Wallace-Coleman of Philadelphia and safety Braswell Thomas of Cape May, New Jersey.
