SMART MOVE: Matt Campbell FIXED Penn State Football's Recruiting Strategy

Matt Campbell is changing Penn State’s recruiting strategy — and it’s something that should have happened years ago. Zach Seyko explains why New Jersey is now clearly Priority #2 behind Pennsylvania, why Florida is no longer a major focus, and how that shift could improve retention and long-term talent acquisition. Then he breaks down the current wide receiver depth chart, the impact of transfers like Chase Sowell and Brett Eskilsden, and why the 2027 class (Matthew Gregory, Khalil Taylor, Cade Cooper) is absolutely critical. Finally, we evaluate the Kashif Moore hire and why Campbell’s track record at wide receiver gives reason for optimism. Become an every-dayer!
