Penn State offers Mekhi Paschall

Penn State has offered Mekhi Paschall, a Class of 2028 athlete from Springfield Township High School in suburban Philadelphia. (x.com) Paschall announced the offer on social media, and On3 lists a Penn State visit on April 11, 2026, as an unofficial trip. On3 and 247Sports list him at 6-foot-1 and about 170 pounds. (x.com) (on3.com) (247sports.com) Recruiting services slot Paschall as a defensive back, but his high school film and school listings show him playing both wide receiver and defensive back. Hudl lists him at wide receiver and cornerback, and MaxPreps lists him as a safety and wide receiver for Springfield Township. (hudl.com) (maxpreps.com) That two-way profile lines up with his sophomore production. MaxPreps credits Paschall with 425 receiving yards and 4 total touchdowns in 2025, and EasternPAFootball reported he scored on a 61-yard catch as a freshman in a 35-0 win over Lower Moreland in September 2024. (maxpreps.com) (easternpafootball.com) The offer adds another in-state name to Penn State’s early 2028 board. On3 says Penn State has already offered multiple 2028 prospects, and 247Sports lists dozens of players on the program’s 2028 offer sheet. (on3.com) (247sports.com) Penn State also already has a 2028 commitment. On3 and 247Sports both reported that Erie McDowell defensive back Deonte Flemings Jr. became the program’s first known commitment in that class earlier in 2026. (on3.com) (247sports.com) For Paschall, the Penn State offer joins an early list that already included Syracuse, Cincinnati, and West Virginia, according to On3 and 247Sports. That gives the Glenside prospect another Power Four option before his junior season of high school football. (on3.com) (247sports.com) The next step is the usual one for an early 2028 recruitment: more visits, more film, and a clearer position fit. For now, Penn State has put Paschall in the conversation, and the in-state sophomore’s offer list keeps growing. (on3.com) (hudl.com)
