Penn State may be closing in on another wide receiver for its Class of 2026. On Wednesday, Harrisburg native Elias Coke announced via social media that he’s ready to end his recruitment. The decision is expected to come next Wednesday, Jan. 15, at 10:30 a.m. ET. He’s narrowed his list of more than two dozen scholarship offers down to five schools: Penn State, Miami, Michigan, Notre Dame and Rutgers.
A three-star prospect, Coke earned an offer from Penn State in June 2023 after a strong performance at one of the staff’s 7-on-7 tournaments. He’s been a consistent visitor ever since, totaling 11 trips to State College in less than two years. That’s by far the most visits he’s taken to any school.

In fact, both Coke and Mickens have been playing football together since youth football. That relationship, along with Brown, is a good sign for the Nittany Lions.
“Of course, Messiah and Kev are always telling me, ‘Come on bro, you know this is home,’” Coke said when asked about how aggressively Mickens and Brown have been recruiting him. “But yeah, we talk about Penn State all the time with each other. We talk about the coaches and I’ve asked them how they feel about them and also why they picked Penn State.”…
