Penn State Football: Nittany Lions Add Corner to 2024 Class

Penn State added more defensive depth to its 2024 recruiting class on Monday evening as three-star corner Antoine Belgrave-Shorter announced his verbal commitment.

He is the second player from Mandarin High School in Jacksonville to join Penn State’s 2024 class alongside teammate Jon Mitchell who verbally committed to the Nittany Lions at the start of April..

The commitment continues a run of defensive players out of Florida as the 2024 duo joins 2023 safeties King Mack and Elliot Washington from the Sunshine State.

Penn State’s 2024 class is now eight players deep and headlined by the likes of fellow corner Kenneth Woseley, athlete Quinton Martin, interior lineman Cooper Cousins and linebacker Anthony Speca. As of this writing, Penn State’s 2024 cycle is rated No. 10 in the nation by the 247 Network. Six of Penn State’s eight verbal commitments are rated at the four-star level.
