Malachi Goodman, a 4-star offensive lineman from New Jersey, commits to the Penn State Nittany Lions' 2025 recruiting class.
Malachi Goodman, a 4-star offensive lineman from New Jersey and one of the nation's top-ranked players at his position, committed to Penn State's 2025 recruiting class Tuesday. Goodman became the highest-ranked offensive player in the class and gave the Nittany Lions a recruiting jolt after their opening win over West Virginia.
Goodman is one of the most highly recruited offensive linemen in the 2025 class. He took official visits to Georgia, Alabama, USC and Auburn as well as Penn State and had offers from Washington, Ohio State, Ole Miss, Pitt and Michigan State, among many others. Goodman was a first-team all-state tackle at Paramus Catholic and began this season as one of the nation's top-ranked lineman.
Goodman was the second commitment in as many days for Penn State coach James Franklin, who had gone about a month without a commitment. On Monday, 4-star receiver Matthew Outten of Virginia announced that he was. Several prospects will visit Penn State this weekend, when the Nittany Lions host Bowling Green in their opener at Beaver Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for noon Saturday on Big Ten Network.
