Penn State Lands 2028 Pledge as 16-Year-Old CB Deonte Flemings Commits
He cited trust in Matt Campbell’s family-oriented staff as the reason for deciding so early.
Overview
- The McDowell High School cornerback announced his commitment during Penn State’s Junior Day on Saturday.
- Flemings said he views the new staff as ready to compete and praised Campbell as honest and family-focused.
- He received a Penn State offer from assistant coach Deon Broomfield about a week before committing.
