Where Penn State's 2022 recruiting class ranks after Winston & Carter

The commitments keep rolling in for Penn State Nittany Lions football and head coach James Franklin.

Earlier today, the first addition came from Ath. KJ Winston out of DeMatha Catholic. It felt as if he may be the final player to cap off an incredible July, but LB Abdul Carter decided to end his recruitment, too, committing to the Nittany Lions following today's Lasch Bash Barbecue.

So, where do the Nittany Lions now rank? We break it down below.

The Nittany Lions remain in the No. 2 spot, trailing only Ohio State, which holds a lead of just over 200 points.

Notre Dame trails the Nittany Lions by 205 points, with the Carter commitment providing some nice cushion for Penn State between itself and the teams behind it.

Carter is the 24th commitment in Penn State's class, leaving the Nittany Lions with more commitments in the 2022 class at this juncture than any other Football Bowl Subdivision school outside of the military academies.
