Trying to bring a few top-notch wide receivers has been a major off-season theme for the Penn State football program.
Despite being finalists, Penn State has fallen short in their attempt to land 2025 4-star wide out Taz Williams Jr. and 4-star wide out and Harrisburg native Lex Cyrus.
Prior to their final decisions, many recruiting analysts believed that Penn State was the leading candidate for both players but that wasn’t the case.
Penn State football currently has received 22 commitments for their Class of 2025, with two of those coming from wide receivers- 4-star Jeff Exinor, Jr. and 3-star Lyrick Samuel.
