Breaking: Georgia Become Clear Favorites To Land a 4-star QB
Penn State football in contention to land talented four-star quarterback Matt Zollers, who recently announced his Top 4 schools.
Penn State football is featured in the Final 4 teams for the services of four-star quarterback Matt Zollers, per HayesFawcett3 on X. The Nittany Lions will be competing against the Georgia Bulldogs, Mizzou Tigers, and Pittsburgh Panthers in Zollers’ recruitment. He’s listed as the No. 9 quarterback and No. 148 overall player in the 247Sports recruiting rankings. Zollers is a part of the 2025 class, listed as a 6’4″ prospect with great size for his age.
Zollers is a Pennsylvania native, so Penn State football could have an edge in his recruitment. He seems to be leaning toward staying home, given two of his top schools are in-state options. While Zollers may elect to stay in the state, the Nittany Lions will have to beat out Georgia if they’d like Zollers to commit. It’s tough to recruit against a team that’s won two National Titles in the last three years, but that all depends on the recruit’s preferences.
Georgia, Mississippi State aim to end SEC skids
Georgia and Mississippi State are looking for the same thing: a bounce-back effort to snap a string of Southeastern Conference losses and get back on track toward a potential NCAA Tournament at-large berth. The seemingly evenly matched sets of Bulldogs will have to go through each other to make that happen Wednesday night in Starkville, Miss., in a much-needed home date for Mississippi State (14-8, 3-6 SEC).
Those Bulldogs lost 99-67 Saturday night at conference leader Alabama, committing 18 turnovers that led to 27 points and giving up a season-high point total to the nation’s top-scoring team (89.9 ppg). But Mississippi State coach Chris Jans looks back a season to find optimism for a turnaround.
“Last year, at the turn, we were 2-7 (in SEC play),” he said. “We found a way to stay together, and we continued to practice and fight. We ended up turning the tide a bit and made the NCAA Tournament. I’m pretty confident I’ve got a group of men in there that understand we have to move on.” Tolu Smith leads Mississippi State — which has lost two games in a row — with an average of 16.9 points per game and is coming off a game-high 23 at Alabama. Freshman guard Josh Hubbard supplies 14.8 ppg but hit for only seven on Saturday night. Meanwhile, Georgia (14-8, 4-5) is trying to snap a three-game skid after losing 72-62 Saturday to newly ranked South Carolina. Georgia led by two at halftime but was outscored 34-22 in the second half despite getting 20 total points from Jabri Abdur-Rahim.
