Class of 2026 three-star cornerback Julian Peterson has committed to Penn State football, he announced Saturday.

The Atco, New Jersey, native stands at 6’1″ and 175 pounds. He is the No. 8 player from his home state and the No. 32 cornerback in the nation, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.

By the same metric, Peterson is the ninth addition to Penn State’s recruiting class of 2026, a class that stood at No. 4 in the nation before his commitment. The class is led by four-stars Kevin Brown, Messiah Mickens, and Troy Huhn.

Peterson chose the Nittany Lions over West Virginia, Duke, and UCF. To see what Peterson brings to Happy Valley, check out his Hudl highlights here.
