Penn State football recruiting is in a fascinating spot under Matt Campbell after an expected wave of commitments slowed down. Khalil Taylor and DeShawn Hall both received major Penn State predictions, but Alabama remains involved, while Semajay Robinson flipped from Penn State to Virginia. Zach Seyko and Pat Koerbler (https://x.com/Poerbler) break down where Penn State stands with Taylor, Hall, Jamir Dean, Caleb Cooper, Semajay Robinson, Dhillon McGee, Lucas Rhoa, Elijah Guertin, Case Alexander, and the rest of the 2027 recruiting class. They also discuss defensive back depth, defensive end concerns, official visit momentum, SEC recruiting battles, Georgia’s push for Dean, and whether Penn State fans should be worried or encouraged. This matters because Penn State has a chance to turn a good recruiting class into a statement class, but the next few weeks will determine whether those predictions become commitments. Matt Campbell does not need to win every battle, but Penn State needs to close on enough blue-chip and high-upside targets to prove the new staff can recruit nationally.
