Penn State football landed its 2027 quarterback as Will Wood committed to the Nittany Lions, giving Matt Campbell and Penn State a key piece in the 2027 recruiting class.

On today’s Locked On Nittany Lions, Zach Seyko breaks down Will Wood’s commitment, his fit in Penn State’s offense, the comparison to Trace McSorley and Brock Purdy, why his leadership and processing matter, and how this recruitment shifted from Peter Bourque to Wood. We also discuss whether Penn State should have taken two quarterbacks, how NIL impacts quarterback recruiting, and what comes next for Penn State’s 2027 recruiting class at wide receiver, tight end, offensive line, linebacker, and defensive line.

This matters because quarterback recruiting shapes the entire class. Penn State now has its QB, but the bigger question is whether the Nittany Lions can surround Will Wood with enough playmakers and continue building a top-tier 2027 class.

Penn State fans: did you want Will Wood, Peter Bourque, or both? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
