š Falzone Flips From Penn State to Auburn
Four-star Top247 quarterback Peyton Falzoneāoriginally committed to Penn State on AprilāÆ12āhas flipped his commitment to Auburn as of Thursday, JuneāÆ26, 2025.
Auburn, under Hugh Freeze, extended Falzone an offer in early Juneājust three days after his official visit to Penn Stateāand that offer ultimately won him over.
š Falzoneās Profile
From Nazareth, PA, he’s listed at about 6ā4.5ā³, 200 lbs.
At a junior, he threw for roughly 2,136 yards and 23 TDs, and rushed for about 743 yards and 8 TDsāshowing strong dual-threat ability.
He originally committed to Virginia Tech as a tight end last June but pivoted to quarterback and then flipped to Penn State in April. Auburn is now the second program he’s decommitted from this cycle.
šÆ Why Auburn?
Falzone cited a mix of football tradition, academics, and community values at Auburn, calling it a place grounded in āfaith and familyāāqualities that resonate deeply with him and his family.
š Impact on Penn State & Auburn
Penn State saw its quarterback group shrink; they now have only one QB commit (Troy Huhn), and their class dropped from #10 to #12 in team rankings.
Auburn, meanwhile, gets a bounce in recruiting momentum. Falzone is their second blue-chip commit in 2026 and one of seven total commits, which nudged their class up in rankings, though it remains near the bottom of the SEC.
š§ What It All Means
For Falzone, Auburn offers a blend of high-level football, academics, and a supportive community environment.
For Penn State, itās a recruiting blow and raises questions about future QB recruitment.
For Auburn, it’s a strategic gain to ignite their 2026 class, especially after a slower start than desired.
