Penn State’s football program has secured a significant commitment for its 2026 recruiting class with the addition of Kevin Brown, a highly regarded offensive tackle from Harrisburg High School in Pennsylvania. Brown, standing at 6 feet 5 inches and weighing 270 pounds, is considered one of the top offensive linemen in the nation for the 2026 cycle. His commitment to the Nittany Lions is a notable victory over several SEC competitors who had also extended offers.

Brown’s decision to join Penn State adds to the program’s growing list of impressive recruits. He is the third player to commit to the 2026 class, which currently ranks fourth nationally according to the 247Sports Composite. His commitment is particularly significant as he is the top-ranked player in Pennsylvania for the 2026 recruiting cycle. Brown’s high school teammate, Messiah Mickens, a 4-star athlete, also committed to Penn State in 2023, further strengthening the Nittany Lions’ presence in the state.
