It’s been a crazy last 24 hours for Penn State football as far as their future running backs.

On Friday, Penn State lost 4-star running back Alvin Henderson, who flipped his commitment to stay home and play for the Auburn Tigers.

In the end, Penn State ended up exchanging one 4-star running back for another one.

Saturday night following his official visit, Philadelphia 4-star back Jabree Wallace-Coleman announced that he’s taking his talent to State College. Back in July of 2022, Wallace-Coleman committed to Georgia before opening up his recruitment in July of 2023.

Last weekend, the talented back from Imhotep Charter took an official visit to North Carolina but a week later, decided to stay in state and play for James Franklin’s program.

Last season for the PIAA 5A state champions, Wallace-Coleman rushed for over 1,500 yards and 27 touchdowns.

Penn State football once again has three running backs in their Class of 2025- Wallace-Coleman, 4-star back Tiqwai Hayes from Aliquippa, Pennsylvania and 3-star back Kiandrea Barker from Arizona.

Wallace-Coleman becomes the 16th member of Penn State football’s Class of 2025. Of those 16 players, 6 now have come from the state of Pennsylvania.

This huge addition also bumped up three places in the Rivals 2025 Team Recruiting Rankings as Penn State jumps from No. 12 up to No.9.
