Show notes

Penn State football missed on Khalil Taylor, as the former Nittany Lions wide receiver target is headed to Nebraska. Zach Seyko reacts to what this means for Matt Campbell, Kashif Moore, and Penn State’s 2027 recruiting class after the Nittany Lions also lost momentum with Jamir Dean and Deshawn Hall. This episode breaks down Penn State’s wide receiver recruiting situation, why Khalil Taylor’s recruitment shifted, how Nebraska became a major factor, and why Trae Taylor, NIL, coaching staff turnover, and Penn State’s lack of WR proof of concept all mattered. Zach also explains why the Nittany Lions are still in a strong position overall with the 2027 class, including wins at quarterback, running back, tight end, offensive line, edge, linebacker, and defensive back. The wide receiver miss is not ideal, but it is not the end of Penn State recruiting under Matt Campbell. The 2026 season now becomes important for Chase Sowell, Brett Eskildsen, Koby Howard, and the rest of the Penn State WR room to show recruits that this offense can develop and feature wide receivers. What concerns you more: Penn State missing on Khalil Taylor, or the lack of a clear backup plan at wide receiver? Photo credit: IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect Become an every-dayer!
