Penn State had dropped the ball on a number of recruits in the last couple weeks and things were beginning to trend in the wrong direction. However, the school has quickly shaken off the rust and bounced back in a big way today by securing commitments from two players. They hosted a plethora of athletes on the campus this past weekend and it clearly had a resoundingly positive effect on their recruitments.
One of the players who committed, three-star safety Caleb Cooper, was just predicted to land with the Nittany Lions yesterday by 247Sports insider Brian Dohn. The reporter sensed a shift during Cooper’s visit and he was proven right by the North Carolina native today.
The other athlete who agreed to join the team is long snapper Clayton Powell. He doesn’t have a star ranking since he plays a specialty position, but there’s no reason to expect anything less than a great addition considering the talent Matt Campbell and his staff have brought in so far.
These commitments mark the first for the Nittany Lions in weeks and hopefully signal another wave of recruits committing to the team. Dohn made a few more Crystal Ball predictions in favor of Penn State yesterday, so hopefully they follow suit and commit soon just like Cooper did.
Four-star wide receiver Khalil Taylor is one of the players Dohn predicted to join the school and he has dropped some hints in interviews that he’s leaning that way. Penn State seems to be emerging from their recruiting rough patch and going right back to building one of the most impressive 2027 recruiting classes in the country.
