Three-Star Defensive Lineman Tavian Branch Decommits From Penn State Football
Former Penn State football class of 2026 three-star defensive line commit Tavian Branch has decommitted, per On3’s Hayes Fawcett. Branch committed to Penn State in September and reopened his recruitment following James Franklin’s firing.
Branch is the No. 15 player in Pennsylvania, No. 58 defensive lineman in the class of 2026, and No. 513 player in the nation, per the 247 Composite rankings.
