Penn State football recruiting took a turn as the Nittany Lions deal with a wide receiver shakeup in the 2027 class. Jamir Dean’s Georgia situation changes the outlook at receiver, while Khalil Taylor’s Nebraska official visit gives Matt Campbell, Kashif Moore, and Penn State another major recruiting battle to monitor. On today’s Locked On Nittany Lions, Zach Seyko breaks down Penn State’s wide receiver recruiting picture with Landon Blum, Khalil Taylor, DeShawn Hall, and Jamir Dean, plus what Nebraska and NIL could mean in this race. The episode also covers Elijah Guertin’s commitment, Danton Lynn’s defensive line vision, Aiden Gibson’s rise, David Tarawallie’s jump in the rankings, and why Penn State’s 2027 recruiting class is still in a strong position. This matters now because Penn State had a chance to build one of the best wide receiver groups in the 2027 cycle. The class is still good, but the next few recruiting decisions will say a lot about Matt Campbell’s ability to close elite targets against Georgia, Nebraska, Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, and Michigan.
