Penn State fans cheer on the Nittany Lions before playing Iowa in a White Out football game at Beaver Stadium Saturday, Sept. 23, 2023, in State College, Pa.
Penn State continued some strong recruiting momentum by landing Lyrick Samuel on Monday.
A three-star wide receiver, Samuel is one of the top players in New York in the 2025 recruiting class. He took a visit in late January to Happy Valley which helped seal the deal for the athlete to land at Penn State.
He also held offers from Michigan State, Syracuse, Rutgers and West Virginia. Rivals ranks him as the No. 2 player in New York.
At 6-foot-4 and 185 pounds, Samuel has a long frame and a big catch radius. He is coming off a standout season at powerhouse Erasmus Hall (Brooklyn, New York).
He takes long strides and uses his length well to make contested catches.
Samuel posted on social media on Monday evening about his commitment to Penn State.
With the commitment, Penn State now has 12 players who have given a verbal in the 2025 class. They rank fifth in the nation according to Rivals.
Last year, Penn State finished 10-3 with a loss to Ole Miss in the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl.
