In-state safety Joey O’Brien will be in attendance for Saturday’s top 5 showdown against Ohio State, per 247.

O’Brien ranks No. 73 overall and No. 1 in Pennsylvania in the 2026 cycle. While he has a long list of power conference offers, it appears that his decision will come down to Michigan, Notre Dame, or Penn State. The Fighting Irish are currently the favorite to land him, but maybe a landmark victory over the Buckeyes could give Penn State a shot here.

Ohio running back Shahn Alston will also be in attendance for the Ohio State game, per 247.
