4-Star Florida Cornerback Commits to Penn State Football’s 2024 Recruiting Class

Class of 2024 four-star cornerback Jon Mitchell announced his verbal commitment to Penn State football via Twitter on Saturday morning. He joins Kenneth Woseley as the second cornerback in the class.

The 6-foot, 177-pound defensive back from Mandarin High School in Jacksonville, Florida held offers from the likes of Alabama, Michigan and Tennessee, among other schools, before committing to Penn State, according to 247Sports.

Mitchell is ranked as the No. 19 cornerback nationally, the No. 31 overall recruit in Florida and the No. 208 player nationally.

He marks the latest pickup from Florida for Nittany Lion coach James Franklin’s staff, which most recently signed four-star safeties Elliot Washington from Venice and King Mack from St. Thomas Aquinas in Miami in the 2023 recruiting class.

Mitchell is the sixth player from the Class of 2024 to commit to Penn State. His commitment moves the Nittany Lions’ class up to No. 13 overall and third in the Big Ten behind Michigan and Ohio State, according to 247.
