Class of 2025 three-star defensive tackle Randy Adirika committed to Penn State football, he announced Tuesday. Adirika is the Nittany Lions’ first defensive tackle recruit this cycle.

The 6’3″ and 275-pound Miami, Florida, native is the No. 47 defensive tackle in the country and the No. 57 player in his state, according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. According to the same metric, Adirika joins a Penn State class that is ranked No. 6 in the nation. Adirika chose the Nittany Lions over Miami, USC, and Florida State.

In 11 games last season for Miami Central, the same school Penn State quarterback commit Bekkem Kritzka attends, Adirika tallied 27 total tackles, 11 sacks, and 16 tackles for loss, according to his MaxPreps profile.
