Penn State Football Recruiting: Post Visit Nuggets
After Penn State Football’s recruiting tear last weekend, one in which they landed an elite 2027 wideout, the Nittany Lions are back at it this week. Penn State Football spring football practices are on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Penn State hosted numerous good prospects on Tuesday of this week, but this weekend is when most of James Franklin‘s top targets are slated to come to town.
Just like last week, I will be updating this article as more reactions, thoughts and news rolls in.
As always follow us on X and all other social media platforms for the latest Penn State news (NittanyCentral) (Ian Purdy).
Class of 2026 Talks Penn State Visits
2026 CB Dylan Abram (Monsignor Bonner)
One Penn State recruit who has family ties with Penn State made it out to Happy Valley on Thursday evening. Dylan Abram, a standout from Philadelphia made the short trip over to State College. Abram’s uncle Kyle Carter played Tight End at Penn State from 2011-2015.
Abram described the visit saying. “The visit was great, I was mainly watching the DB group.” Abram said that the coach he was in contact with the most was Coach Terry Smith. He also told NittanyCentral how he loves Penn State. “I loved it up there, I’ve been around Penn State since I was younger due to my uncle Kyle Carter going there.”
The future for Abram is bright. He said he is close to choosing a top 5 in his recruitment. He also detailed his visit schedule. “I plan on going to Rutgers, Virginia Tech, and back up to Happy Valley in the summer time.”
Right now, for the Nittany Lions, there is a little bit of build up at the cornerback spot. Penn State is still waiting on Khary Adams, CJ Bronaugh and Brandon Arrington to make their decisions before Penn State has a clear picture. It will be interesting to see what Abram does with Penn State and what Penn State does with him.

One of Penn State Football’s top 2027 offensive line recruits was in town for spring practice on Thursday. The Lone Star statesman, Peyton Miller, talked to NittanyCentral about his time in Happy Valley.
Miller made the trip up to Penn State and had a good experience. He said “It was pretty great, I mean, it was my first time being at Penn State and everybody talks about how great it is and it definitely lived up to it.” Miller was also impressed with the coaching staff. “It was pretty amazing to see everything and get to talk to Coach Franklin and Coach Trautwein and get to experience what the guys go through on a day to day basis. So, it was pretty great.”
Andy Kotelnicki also spent time with Miller. Miller said Kotelnicki’s message to him was this: “We were just talking about what I’m looking for in a college program and how would I fit into their program and stuff like that so we got to chat up a little about that.” Miller said that Penn State attracts a certain type of person. “I think Penn State really attracts me and [Andy Kotelnicki] says it takes a hard working person to come up here and play. So, he said that I fit that narrative pretty well…”
Miller plans to visit Florida State next weekend. He also plans on visiting Texas Tech and Baylor. Miller is a top target for Penn State in this blooming 2027 cycle and they will continue to pursue the Texas standout.
