Penn State has faced some hardships so far in spring practices, but they’ve been killing it in the 2027 recruiting class as of late. They secured a commitment from three-star cornerback Semajay Robinson last weekend, and then former interim head coach Terry Smith correctly predicted another commitment that came in the form of another cornerback, Zachary Gleason Jr. Smith would go on to tell reporters after Tuesday’s practice that he expects the Nittany Lions to make a run on recruits, and it seems that he may be right about that as well.

Three-star cornerback Ka’ron Ceaser from the Class of 2027 took a trip up to Penn State yesterday and named them as the top school on his list soon after. Now he’ll join Robinson and Gleason Jr. as the third cornerback commit in the last week. What was a woeful recruiting class for the Nittany Lions has become a treasure trove in no time.

The New Jersey native becomes the second recruit in as many days to choose Penn State over Virginia Tech. That may not mean anything to the coaching staff, or even the school itself, but the fanbase will surely be thrilled to take away another prospect from former coach James Franklin.

It was unclear what the reputation of the school would be after Franklin was let go, but Matt Campbell has resolidified their standing in the college football realm quickly. It seems like State College is still an attractive destination for recruits after all.
