Nasir Richardson visits Penn State for the season opener against Marshall

Penn State continues its pursuit of four-star recruit Nasir Richardson as the New Jersey cornerback plans a visit for the team's Week 1 matchup against Marshall. Richardson, ranked as the top cornerback in the 2028 class and the 12th overall prospect, has previously visited the program three times. The Nittany Lions currently hold a commitment from four-star cornerback Deonte Flemings Jr., though he has drawn interest from Nebraska and Ole Miss. Securing a commitment from Richardson remains a high priority for the coaching staff to bolster the secondary. The recruiting effort is aided by the retention of cornerbacks coach Terry Smith, who remains a central figure in the team's ability to attract top-tier talent. Penn State looks to solidify its roster as it faces pressure from other programs attempting to flip its current commits.
