Penn State is working on another top-10 recruiting class under head coach James Franklin, and the Nittany Lions are a finalist for another elite player in the 2024 recruiting class.

On Friday, 4-star wide receiver Jaylan Hornsby out of New Jersey announced a pair of finalists for his commitment. Penn State made the cut alongside Texas A&M out of the SEC.

Hornsby was on campus for an official visit with the Nittany Lions to begin June, and he is expected to be at Texas A&M this weekend for an official visit with the Aggies. That could mean a commitment is forthcoming once this weekend wraps up.

Hornsby is listed at 6-foot-2 and 195 pounds out of Winslow Twp in Atco, New Jersey. According to the 247 Sports Composite, Hornsby is a 4-star recruit, the 56th overall WR in the nation and the No. 6 player out of New Jersey for the cycle.

As things currently stand, Penn State boasts the No. 7 recruiting class in the country per the 247 Sports Team Composite.
