Penn State holds firm with four commits inside Rivals250

Following a busy spring with camps all across the country, Rivals updated its top 250 list for the Class of 2022 on Tuesday. Although there were plenty of changes among the players the staff is still pursuing, not a whole lot changed with those who are already committed.

Offensive lineman Drew Shelton remains the top-ranked player in the class, moving up one spot to No. 123 overall. Athlete Mehki Flowers and wide receiver Kaden Saunders also moved up one spot each to No. 139 and No. 160, respectively. Defensive end Ken Talley moved up six spots to No. 194.

Of the players they're still pursuing, defensive end Dani Dennis-Sutton officially earned the title as a five-star prospect on Monday. He also moved up 14 spots to No. 11 overall in the nation. Also, wide receiver Andre Greene Jr. went from outside the Rivals250 all the way up to No. 85 overall.

In the Rivals250, wide receiver Darrius Clemsons received a nice boost, moving up over 20 spots to No. 113 overall. However, cornerback Keenan Nelson Jr. dropped 33 spots to No. 134. Others like running backs Nick Singleton, George Pettaway and Omarion Hampton largely remained the same, give or take a few spots.

One other notable addition towards the bottom of the list is Maryland prospect Anto Saka. The linebacker/defensive end was impressive at the Baltimore Under Armour camp last month, running a 4.62-second 40, a 4.54-second shuttle and jumping 117 inches in the broad jump.
