Class of 2026 four-star edge rusher Elijah Littlejohn has committed to Penn State football, he announced Monday afternoon.

The Charlotte, North Carolina, native stands at 6’2″ and 205 pounds. Littlejohn is the No. 19 player in North Carolina, the No. 36 edge in the class of 2026, and the No. 378 player nationally, per 247Sports Composite rankings.

According to MaxPreps, the rising senior recorded 57 solo tackles, 27 assisted tackles, 26 tackles for loss, and 14 sacks in the 2024 season. He also had two passes deflected and 24 quarterback hurries for West Mecklenburg that season.

Littlejohn joins the No. 7 2026 class in the country, per 247Sports. He is the only player committed listed as edge but will join numerous linebackers, including four-star Terry Wiggins and three-star Mathieu Lamah.

The edge rusher chose the Nittany Lions over Alabama, Georgia Tech, NC State, and Auburn. To see what he can bring to Happy Valley, check out his Hudl highlights here.
