Weekend Preview: Top Penn State prospects expected at Elite 11 & Under Armour Camps

Penn State will host a strong group of prospects on campus Saturday for a mid-May junior day, but that’s far from the only event that Nittany Lion fans should be following this weekend. On Sunday, the Elite 11 and All-22 Camps return to State College for the second consecutive year. That’ll bring a handful of Penn State’s committed players into town as well.

Down in Baltimore, Under Armour will also be hosting its regional camp the same day. Both camps taking place at the same time will spread out the talent a bit compared to previous years, but Blue White Illustrated will have reporters at each. Below are some of the top prospects expected at both camps this weekend.

Elite 11 & All-22 – State College, Pa.

The region’s top quarterbacks will receive most of the attention Sunday, but the list of skill position players is also pretty solid. Five Penn State commits are on the RSVP list, including quarterback Bekkem Kritza, linebacker DJ McClary, wide receiver Lyrick Samuel, tight end Matt Henderson and athlete Brady O’Hara.

Of the players who haven’t committed yet, tight end Andrew Olesh and defensive lineman Adam Shovlin both have official visits locked in with the Nittany Lions. Penn State also continues to monitor quarterback Malik Washington while they chip away at trying to flip Pennsylvania native Matt Zollers.

In the 2026 class, quarterback Dia Bell has Penn State ranked among his top schools. He’s also visiting with the staff on Saturday. 2027 cornerback Larry Moon is also expected to be one of the top players in his class.

Under Armour Camp – Baltimore, Md.

We don’t expect to see any of Penn State’s current commits down in Baltimore Sunday, but there are a handful of top targets expected who also have an official visit locked in with the Lions. McDonogh prospects Jeff Exinor and Brandon Finney are both expected to perform, as are defensive line prospects Cortez Harris and Yvan Kemajou. All four could realistically end up in Penn State’s class.

Running back Jabree Wallace-Coleman is another intriguing player to keep an eye on. Despite Penn State already holding commitments from three running backs in this class, the Nittany Lions continue to pursue the Philadelphia native. As of mid-May, Wallace-Coleman was still expected to take an official visit to Penn State in June.

The 2026 list also features two of the nation’s top overall prospects: defensive lineman Zion Elee and offensive lineman Immanuel Iheanacho. On3 has already named Iheanacho a five-star player, ranking him No. 3 in the nation. Elee is just behind him at No. 7 overall. As you would expect, both players will be priority targets for Penn State in next year’s class.
