Four-star wide receiver Khalil Taylor has committed to the Nebraska Cornhuskers, leaving the Penn State Nittany Lions empty-handed. Taylor, from Pittsburgh and ranking among the top receivers nationally, had 17 visits with Penn State but chose Nebraska despite their fewer interactions. The Nittany Lions, currently sitting at 20th in recruitment rankings, are in need of more talent at the receiver position and will have to address this gap moving forward. The recent coaching change from James Franklin to Matt Campbell may have influenced Taylor's decision.
