Penn State unlikely to land safety recruit Knyair Crumb soon
Summary

Knyair Crumb, a three-star safety recruit, is expected to commit on June 17, but Penn State is not favored to secure his commitment. Auburn holds an 86.5% chance according to Rivals, while Virginia Tech, which has ties to a former Penn State coach, is also in contention. Crumb did not complete his official visit schedule, as he missed Syracuse after visiting both Auburn and Virginia Tech earlier this month. Despite the lack of safety recruits in the 2027 class, Penn State has made progress by signing two other players at the position. The focus now appears to be shifting towards cornerback recruitment, following recent player decommitments.
