Deyvid Palepale was a highly-sought after defensive lineman from Pennsylvania for the 2024 recruiting class. On Saturday, he finalized his commitment.

Prior to his decision, Palepale generated over 20 offers that included prominent programs such as Notre Dame, USC, Michigan, Penn State, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Miami and others. After trimming his list to a final group that included USC, Michigan and Penn State, Palepale officially revealed a commitment to Lincoln Riley’s Trojan program.

Palepale is listed at 6-foot-3 and around 300 pounds out of Hempfield High School in Landisville, Pennsylvania. According to the 247 Sports Composite, Palepale is a 3-star prospect and the 62nd DL in the country for the class of 2024.

The talented DL joins a USC 2024 recruiting class that was ranked 7th nationally at the time of his commitment. The Trojans also held the No. 4 class in the Big Ten prior to Palepale’s pledge.
