Penn State is pursuing Ben Rolapp, a three-star quarterback currently committed to Boston College, in an effort to strengthen its 2027 recruiting class. Rolapp's recruitment follows Penn State's unsuccessful attempt to flip a Missouri commit. The Nittany Lions, ranked 20th in the class, have not yet secured a quarterback for 2027, which they view as essential for competitiveness. Rolapp threw for 2,268 yards and 20 touchdowns in his junior season, and could serve as a developmental prospect or a bridge option. If unable to secure Rolapp, Penn State may turn to Iowa State transfer Alex Manske as their starter.
