The WPIAL football recruiting board has tracked over 100 prospects from around the Pittsburgh area, including the City League, from the class of 2025 through the class of 2028.
In the Class of 2025, 40 recruits have signed or committed to Division I schools.
Five players in the class are Penn State bound with Aliquippa four-star running back Tiqwai Hayes, Latrobe four-star linebacker Alex Tatsch, Imani four-star linebacker Dayshaun Burnett, Central Catholic defensive back Xxavier Thomas and North Catholic athlete Brady O’Hara.
Princeton has landed four WPIAL products in Upper St. Clair teammates Nate Stohl and Michael Albert, Bethel Park wide receiver Ryan Petras and North Allegheny offensive lineman Jack Yatchenko.
Buffalo has landed three players in Woodlands Hills’ George Hill, Elizabeth Forward’s Christopher Climes and University Prep’s Xair Stevenson.
The Class of 2026 also boasts a handful of talented recruits with high-level offers. The highest-rated WPIAL product in the class according to Rivals.com is Fort Cherry quarterback/safety Matt Sieg who has committed to Penn State.
Other highly-rated players in the Class of 2026 include Imani Christian athlete David Davis, Westinghouse cornerback Kyshawn Robinson and Steel Valley athlete Da’Ron Barksdale.
Daiveon Taylor — a 6-foot-2 linebacker from Aliquippa — is the lone commit of 2026 so far as he made his verbal pledge to West Virginia earlier in the spring.
The future of Western Pennsylvania recruiting is bright with a lot of talented names in 2027 like Larry Moon III — a 2027 defensive back prospect out of Aliquippa — who already holds over 40 offers from big-time programs such as Alabama, Michigan, Ohio State, Oregon, USC, Penn State, Pitt, WVU and more.
Kemon Spell became the first player in the 2027 cycle to announce his commitment. The running back prospect picked Penn State in early August.
