Today is decision day for three-star Class of 2026 receiver Elias Coke. The 6-foot-2, 190-pound junior is down to Penn State, Miami, Michigan, Notre Dame, and Rutgers. He will announce his choice at 10:30 a.m. ET at Harrisburg, Pa., High School.
“I think I have known of the school for probably two weeks,” Coke told On3’s Chad Simmons recently. “I just didn’t know when the right time was to announce it, but when the days started to pass by, I built stronger relationships and knew this was where I wanted to be.”
The Nittany Lions lead in the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine by a wide amount. He has seen the Nittany Lions in person 11 times, eight more than the Scarlet Knights, which are second on his visit center tracker. A three-star, the On3 Industry Rankings call Coke the No. 452 player overall, No. 62 receiver, and No. 13 player in the Keystone State.

Quote of the day
“The main thing that stood out was the stadium. That’s the biggest one I’ve ever seen or been to. The amount of fans outside tailgating in the cold hours before the game [was cool to see]. As we entered for warm-ups, it felt surreal how big it was standing on the turf and looking around. It just kept getting more and more packed.”
He went on to add, “Their staff was great and showed great hospitality. The main thing me and dad talked about on the way home was the atmosphere and what comes with Penn State and how we enjoyed the game.”
