4-Star Safety Darrell Carey Commits to Penn State, Says National Championship is the Goal
The Penn State Nittany Lions just added another major weapon to their 2025 recruiting class. Four-star safety Darrell Carey officially announced his commitment to PSU on Thursday, and he made it very clear—he’s coming to Happy Valley with one goal in mind: bringing home a national title.
Carey, a 6-foot-1, 190-pound playmaker out of Georgia, chose Penn State over offers from powerhouse programs like Alabama, Georgia, and Michigan. Known for his hard-hitting style, high football IQ, and ability to cover ground quickly, Carey brings elite talent and confidence to the Nittany Lions’ secondary. In an interview following his commitment, he didn’t shy away from bold expectations. “I didn’t come to Penn State just to play football—I came to win a national championship,” Carey said. “We’re building something special here.”
This commitment continues the momentum for head coach James Franklin and his staff, who have been putting together a top-tier recruiting class for 2025. Carey is expected to be an instant-impact player in a secondary that’s already been turning heads. His ability to play both deep safety and come down into the box gives Penn State even more versatility on defense.
Carey’s leadership and attitude are just as important as his talent. Known for his vocal presence on and off the field, he’s expected to be a tone-setter in the locker room and a fan favorite in Beaver Stadium.
With commitments like Carey’s, the Nittany Lions are sending a message to the college football world: Penn State isn’t just chasing Big Ten titles anymore—they’re hunting for a national championship.
Stay tuned, Nittany Nation. The future is fast, physical, and full of fire.
