No one saw it coming. Not Penn State. Not Auburn. Not even recruiting insiders.
4-star QB Peyton Falzone flipped his commitment from Penn State to Auburn with almost no warning, and in this Locked On crossover episode, Zach Seyko (PSU) and Zac Blackerby (Auburn) unpack:
- Why the flip shocked both fan bases and insiders alike
- How NIL and immediate opportunity played key roles
- What Falzone’s path was at Penn State — and why Auburn’s pitch won
- His athleticism, raw talent, and long-term development upside
- What this means for both quarterback rooms, and how it could impact future recruiting
From tight end recruit to potential dual-threat QB1 — Falzone’s journey just took another wild turn.
