Nasir Richardson visits Penn State during season opening victory over Marshall

Penn State opened the 2026 season with a 45-0 shutout victory against Marshall at Beaver Stadium. The game served as the debut for coach Matt Campbell and attracted several high-profile recruits to the State College campus. Among the prospects in attendance was Nasir Richardson, currently ranked as the No. 1 cornerback in the nation. Richardson spent the afternoon observing the defensive back rotation and defensive coordinator D’Anton Lynn’s scheme, which included an interception from safety Bryson Williams. Following the visit, the five-star prospect noted his ability to visualize himself within the defensive system. While Richardson maintains a full schedule of upcoming campus visits, the Penn State program is currently positioned as a top contender for his commitment.
