Four-star running back Messiah Mickens, a top recruit from the Class of 2026, is reportedly de-committing from Penn State following head coach James Franklins departure to Virginia Tech.

Several other recruits previously committed to Penn State are also on flip watch, potentially joining Mickens at Virginia Tech. This development has led to a significant drop in Penn States Class of 2026 rankings, with more potential de-commitments expected.
