Penn State has netted a late addition to its 2025 recruiting class, as three-star tight end Brian Kortovich announced Tuesday that he has flipped his commitment from Purdue to the Nittany Lions.
The flip had been in the work for almost a month as Penn State showed interest in the Ohio native, while also pursuing in-state tight end Andrew Olesh. Notably, Kortovich's commitment will not stop the Nittany Lions from continuing to work on trying to flip Olesh from the Wolverines this week.
The Villa Angela St. Joseph (OH) standout originally camped for Penn State over the summer and impressed the Nittany Lions' staff. Since the summer, the Nittany Lions have been keeping close tabs on the 6-foot-5, 225-pound pass catcher, before turning up the heat on him over the last few weeks.
This past weekend, Kortovich took an official visit to Happy Valley and it appeared it was only a matter of time until the Cleveland, Ohio native received an offer from the Nittany Lions. A commitment was expected to come shortly afterward.
Kortovich also held offers from Illinois, Indiana, Northwestern, and others prior to his commitment to the Boilermakers this summer.
Kortovich joins four-star Matt Henderson as tight ends committed to James Franklin and company in the 2025 recruiting class.
