How Penn State's offensive line Class of 2024 has come together
Penn State’s offensive line in the Class of 2024 is coming together quickly. The Nittany Lions added a second offensive tackle commitment in two days with a pledge from Cornelius (N.C.) William Amos Hough three-star Eagan Boyer. Boyer is the fifth offensive lineman (or potential offensive lineman) to commit to the Nittany Lions in the cycle.
Here’s a look at how Phil Trautwein and Co. got to five commitments.
Interior offensive lineman Cooper Cousins – Committed Jan. 29, 2022
Erie (Pa.) McDowell
The initial member of the Nittany Lions’ Class of 2024 committed well over a year ago. Cousins, a 6-foot-6, 305-pound prospect who is earmarked as Penn State’s center of the future could also play tackle with his size. Cousins is a four-star prospect by the On3 Industry rankings. He’s the No. 215 overall prospect nationally and the No. 15 interior offensive lineman in the Class of 2024. Cousins is the No. 3 prospect in Pennsylvania.
Interior offensive lineman/jumbo athlete Caleb Brewer – Committed April 15, 2023
Reading (Pa.) Wyomissing
Penn State waited over a year before adding a second member of the offensive line class, as in-state athlete Caleb Brewer made it official at the Blue-White Game. A high school Wing-T tight end with potential on either side of the line of scrimmage, Brewer is listed as an athlete by the recruiting services. His most likely college position remains at guard, however. He’s a three-star prospect by the On3 Industry rankings. Brewer is the No. 509 prospect nationally and the No. 23 athlete in the country. He’s the No. 15 prospect in Pennsylvania.

Interior offensive lineman Donovan Harbour – Committed April 15, 2023
Waukesha (Wisc.) Catholic Memorial
Wisconsin guard Donnie Harbour committed to Penn State while on campus for the Blue-White Game and he announced the following week. It was his first time in Happy Valley and the Nittany Lions swept him off of his feet. The 6-foot-4, 330-pound prospect is a four-star prospect by On3. He’s the No. 177 overall prospect nationally and the No. 10 interior offensive line prospect in the country. Harbour is the No. 2 prospect in Wisconsin in the Class of 2024.
Offensive Tackle Garrett Sexton – Committed April 24, 2023
Hartland (Wisc.) Arrowhead
Penn State stayed in the Badger State for its next commitment on the offensive line in the Class of 2024. After previously announcing a commitment date of May 1, Sexton knew where he wanted to go and pulled the trigger for the Nittany Lions a week earlier. The former quarterback is still in transition to his new position. He was 185 pounds coming out of his sophomore season and now tips the scales at 245 pounds on his 6-foot-6 frame. A three-star prospect by the On3 Industry Rankings, Sexton is the No. 427 prospect nationally and the No. 27 offensive tackle in the Class of 2024. He’s the No. 4 prospect in Wisconsin.

Offensive Tackle Eagan Boyer – Committed April 25, 2023
Cornelius (N.C.) William Amos Hough
Just one day after Sexton jumped on board, the Nittany Lions grabbed another commitment from an offensive tackle. North Carolina native Eagan Boyer jumped on board on Tuesday. The 6-foot-8, 260-pound prospect became the fifth and latest offensive lineman to join the group. A three-star prospect by the On3 Industry rankings, Boyer is the No. 578 overall prospect nationally and the No. 37 offensive tackle in the Class of 2024. He’s the No. 16 prospect in North Carolina in the cycle.
