Penn State five star recruit committed for the 2027 class set some concerning visits for the fall

Penn State has become a running back factory. Saquon Barkley. Miles Sanders. Now Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen. James Franklin's Nittany Lions continue to develop stud running backs. It's no wonder they've already locked in a five star commit at running back in the 2027 recruiting class. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem too overcommitted to Penn State at the moment.

Kemon Spell set to visit blue blood programs this fall

Kemon Spell, a five star running back from McKeesport, PA (just two and a half hours from Penn State's stadium), has been committed to James Franklin and company since August of last season, but he continues to rack up scholarship offers and interest from the top programs around the country–and for good reason.

Spell racked up about 1,700 rushing yards, averaging nearly 11 yards per carry last fall as one of the most explosive offensive weapons in the country, and he did so as a sophomore. He is clearly–and by a mile–the best running back recruit in the 2027 class. Penn State will certainly want to hold onto him, but that will be tough.

Most coaches and fans understand that it's fine for young up and coming recruits to visit other campuses throughout their recruiting journey, but should Penn State fans be worried? Kemon Spell has set four official visits for this fall already, one of which is with Penn State. However, he's also visiting Notre Dame (who will likely send Jeremiyah Love on to the first round of the NFL Draft next spring), Florida State, and Alabama.
