Earlier this month, the Penn State Nittany Lions put out a key offer in the 2023 recruiting cycle. New Head Coach Micah Shrewsberry and his new staff decided to offer 2023 prospect Brandon Gardner.

Gardner comes out of Columbia, South Carolina and is rated as a four-star prospect and the second-best player in the state by 247Sports. The recruiting site also lists him at 6-foot-7 and 185 pounds and as a rising star in the 2023 recruiting cycle. Along with Penn State, he also currently has offers from Auburn, Clemson, DePaul, Georgetown, Illinois, and Maryland among others.
Penn State currently has no commitments in its 2023 recruiting class, which isn’t surprising with the program’s coaching overhaul. However, fans are surely still hoping Shrewsberry and staff can get things going in the months to come and Gardner would be a great start for the 2023 cycle. Of course, we will have to wait and see if that ends up happening as there’s still quite some time before he has to make his decision.
