What started as a bad week for the current Penn State program has turned into a bad recruiting week.
Late Friday morning, four-star 2027 commit Khalil Taylor announced that he was no longer committed.
Friday night, five-star RB Kemon Spell said he’s no longer fully committed.
“I’m not 100% with Penn State anymore,” Spell told Keith Barnes of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette after scoring six touchdowns in McKeesport’s win over Mars. “I’m not 100% with Penn State anymore. I will be taking visits and everything else, so we’ll see from there.”
Spell told On3Sports Thursday that’d he’d be visiting the University of Georgia, his head just offered him.
Since committing to Penn State in Aug. 2024, Spell has also received offers from schools such as Notre Dame, Ohio State, Tennessee, and UCLA.
Spell is the type of player that can play anywhere he wants.
He’s the No. 8 overall player in the country from his class per 247Sports’ composite ratings, along with the No. 1 RB in the country and the No. 1 overall player in Pennsylvania.
Three words sent Penn State fans who follow the recruiting side into a frenzy.
”I am staying.”
Spell tweeted them out Sept. 14, responding to a thread regarding his recruitment.
Penn State fans received it so well that one of them blew up the tweet and made it a sign to display on College GameDay.
Spell was there for GameDay and there for Penn State’s White Out showdown with Oregon, which it lost in. If he stays, he’ll be looked at by many as “the next one” in line for a program that’s produced quality running backs with the efficiency the Beatles produced hits.
