While the 2027 recruiting cycle is in full swing, Penn State’s 2028 class received a boost with a commitment from New York kicker Carter Petri on Saturday:
Height/Weight: 6’ 1”, 185 pounds
Hometown/High School: Buffalo, NY (St. Joseph School)
Ranking: No. 9 K in 2028 class
Petri received an offer from Penn State earlier this week before committing this weekend. An impressive performance at the 2026 Kohl’s Spring Showcase helped put him on the Nittany Lions’ radar. Penn State is in good hands with Ryan Barker as the kicker for (presumably) the next two seasons, but Justin Lustig appears to have found his replacement when 2028 comes around.
Penn State now has two players committed in the 2028 class. Petri joins Pennsylvania cornerback Deonte Fleming Jr. as the only other recruit in the class so far, though it is extremely early in the process.
