4-Star DE From Philly Reveals Top-6 Schools on Twitter

Philadelphia-area defensive end Elijah Jeudy is revving up some major college football fanbases ahead of the early signing period. However, we have to pull the brakes just a little bit.

Jeudy is a 2021 DE, so he won't be signing this time around, but he is narrowing the process, focusing on some major Power-5 programs -- four SEC and two Big Ten schools -- before taking his next round of visits.

Florida, Alabama, LSU, Texas A&M, Penn State and Michigan have all made the cut for the 4-star DE. Jeudy is the No. 11 weakside DE in the country and No. 2 player in all of Penn. per 247sports. That's a high honor for what should be a loaded 2021 class, and Jeudy should have an opportunity to gain that coveted fifth star in his senior season.

Penn State makes the cut in the Top 6 for 4⭐️ WDE Elijah Jeudy. Going to have to work hard for this one given the other schools in contention. https://t.co/vSVswMHxkc https://t.co/wp2KljTHyn

While the allure of heading down south to join an SEC program is very real, Penn State is making a major push to keep Jeudy in-state, as James Franklin and Co. pride themselves on convincing top Penn. talent to stay home.
