Penn State Running Back Commit Messiah Mickens Shuts Down Recruitment
Penn State’s 2025 recruiting class received a major boost as running back commit Messiah Mickens announced that he is shutting down his recruitment. The 5’10”, 190-pound running back from St. Joseph’s Prep in Philadelphia had been a coveted prospect, with several other programs expressing strong interest. However, Mickens confirmed on social media that he is fully committed to the Nittany Lions and will no longer consider offers from other schools.
Mickens, known for his explosive speed and impressive vision, made headlines earlier in his high school career as a dynamic playmaker. He has been one of the top prospects in Pennsylvania for the 2025 recruiting class and was a key figure in the success of St. Joseph’s Prep’s offense.
The decision to shut down his recruitment solidifies Penn State’s running back depth for the future and ensures that Mickens will continue to focus on preparing for his time in Happy Valley. His commitment further strengthens the Nittany Lions’ 2025 class, which continues to gain momentum on the recruiting trail.
With Mickens firmly in the fold, Penn State fans can now look forward to seeing the talented running back develop and contribute to the team’s success in the coming years.
