Penn State added to its future linebacker core on Tuesday morning.

Four-star linebacker Kari Jackson announced his commitment to the Nittany Lions, marking the third commit in their 2024 class.

Jackson visited Happy Valley in late January and joins Anthony Speca as the second linebacker in the class. A 6-foot-2, 215-pound prospect, Jackson had 103 tackles and three sacks in only seven games as a junior.

The newest Nittany Lion is a Top 40 linebacker nationally per 247Sports and a top ten prospect in the state per the 247Sports Composite.

The West Bloomfield, Michigan, native picked the blue and white over UCF, Cincinnati, Missouri, Maryland, Wisconsin and Stanford.
