twitter. com/F6PVvYY7l4 — Hayes Fawcett (@Hayesfawcett3) March 31, 2026 HIGHLIGHTS View Link OUTLOOK Penn State gets a second commitment in its 2027 recruiting class as Zachary Gleason joins four-star fellow cornerback Semajay Robinson to make the pledge for the Nittany Lions. Gleason seems tailor made for Penn State, being a Pittsburgh kid who plays cornerback.
It’s not very often Terry Smith misses on those recruitments, so while it’s not a shocker that Gleason made the call for Penn State, it’s still good to get a quality player like Gleason in the fold. Gleason is what you’d expect from a prospect playing at one of the premier programs in the state, Pittsburgh Central Catholic. You can already see that he’s well-coached and has a good base for development.
He’ll need to get much bulkier, as he currently has a 170-pound frame, but Gleason has the makings of a kid who can play at Penn State, and one that could play early too.
