Overview

• Four-star 2027 wide receiver Khalil Taylor told Rivals’ Hayes Fawcett he has decommitted from Penn State and reopened his recruitment.
• Taylor, a top-60 national prospect by the Rivals Industry Ranking, has visits set to Oregon, Syracuse, and Ohio State, and he expressed interest in Indiana, Notre Dame, Tennessee, Florida State, and Nebraska.
• Following Taylor’s decision, Penn State’s 2027 class ranking fell from No. 2 to No. 10, according to Nittany Lions Wire.
• Five-star running back Kemon Spell said he is not 100% committed and will take visits, with trips to Notre Dame and Georgia reported as upcoming, though he has not decommitted.
• Multiple outlets connect the recruiting turbulence to Penn State’s back-to-back losses to Oregon and previously winless UCLA, with Notre Dame’s traction also tied to former PSU assistant Ja’Juan Seider’s move to South Bend.
