Penn State in the Segarra finalists list

Penn State made the final five for 2027 running back David “Tre” Segarra, keeping James Franklin’s staff in the mix for one of the class’s highest-rated backs. (sports.yahoo.com) Segarra announced his finalists on April 10, and the list also includes South Carolina, Tennessee, Indiana and Stanford. Rivals reporter Hayes Fawcett first reported the cutdown. (sports.yahoo.com) Segarra is listed at 5-foot-10 and 205 pounds by 247Sports, which ranks him No. 121 nationally, No. 5 among running backs and No. 2 in South Carolina. The 247Sports Composite places him No. 143 overall, No. 7 at running back and No. 3 in the state. (247sports.com) On3’s industry ranking also slots Segarra at No. 144 nationally, No. 5 at running back and No. 3 in South Carolina. His profile there shows an unofficial visit to Penn State on April 4 and official visits scheduled with Indiana on May 15, Tennessee on June 12 and South Carolina on June 19. (on3.com) His junior-season production helps explain the attention. 247Sports lists Segarra with 1,460 rushing yards, 17 rushing touchdowns, 19 catches, 198 receiving yards and four receiving scores in 2025 at Byrnes High School in Duncan, South Carolina. (247sports.com) The recruitment lands in the middle of Penn State’s 2027 class buildout, where the program has pushed early at running back. On3 reported last week that Penn State was one of two schools competing for Segarra’s final official visit. (on3.com) Segarra’s profile has grown beyond football season. The Greenville News reported on April 1 that he had 25 power-conference offers and was still playing soccer for Byrnes during the spring. (greenvilleonline.com) Penn State’s spot in the finalist group does not settle the race, but it keeps the Lions alive heading into the visit stretch that usually shapes summer commitments. For now, the next dates on Segarra’s calendar are the ones that matter most. (on3.com)
