Last 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 Jahnathan Lamothe.

Lamothe comes out of Baltimore, Maryland and is currently 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-4 and 180 pounds. Along with Penn State, he also currently has offers from Bryant, DePaul, Georgetown, Mississippi State, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, and Seton Hall among others.
Penn State currently has no commitments in its 2023 recruiting class, but that isn’t necessarily surprising given the timeline of the recruiting cycle and Penn State’s coaching turnover. But fans will hope Shrewsberry and staff can get things rolling with a commitment from Lamothe in the months to come. 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.
