Penn State is a finalist for one of the top-20 in-state prospects.

Northeast standout Naquil Betrand is a 3-star prospect with 23 scholarship offers. On Monday, Betrand named his final 6 teams. Penn State, Auburn, Georgia, Kentucky, Syracuse and Texas A&M are the contenders to land the Philadelphia native.

The “final 6” is the latest twist in Betrand’s recruitment. On March 22, Betrand committed to the Colorado Buffaloes. He added scholarship offers from Texas A&M, Syracuse, Pitt, Georgia, Penn State, Maryland, Kentucky and Auburn. Betrand is no longer pledged to Colorado.

In June, Betrand named a top 10 of Auburn, Boston College, Cincinnati, Colorado, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Syracuse, Texas A&M and West Virginia.

Betrand is the No. 20 Maryland product, No. 76 offensive tackle and No. 866 prospect overall nationally in the class of 2023 on the 247Sports Composite. His junior-season highlights can be viewed below, via Hudl:
