Is Penn State Losing Its 5-Star Commit? Recruiting Expert Breaks Down Kemon Spell News

Five-star running back Kemon Spell shocked the Penn State fanbase when it was reported that he plans to take multiple unofficial visits this fall — despite being verbally committed to the Nittany Lions. Is he truly locked in? Host Zach Seyko and recruiting expert Brian Smith explain why it’s part of the five-star process, but also why PSU fans should keep an eye on Notre Dame and Ohio State. The duo also breaks down the impact of Khalil Taylor transferring high schools, Penn State’s QB recruiting options in 2027, and how the Nittany Lions plan to reload their passing game without Tyler Warren. Who steps up as WR1 and TE1 in Drew Allar’s biggest season yet?
