’25 WR Lyrick Samuel one of New York’s best

Penn State football Class of 2024 commitment tracker

After watching Penn State struggle to find big plays in the passing game in 2023, the Nittany Lions have made an effort to find playmaking wide receivers in the Class of 2025. And that landed one of the top players overall in the state of New York. Lyrick Samuel could be a key addition to the Penn State roster once he makes his way to Happy Valley as he could find a path to the field fairly quickly in Penn State’s offense.

Samuel is rated as one of the top players in New York by each of the recruiting services (On3 had him rated as the top prospect in New York at the time of this profile being written), which should come as no surprise. Penn State has a history of securing some of the top players out of New York, but Samuel seemingly had his eye on the Nittany Lions for a while, which made things relatively easy in the recruiting efforts by Penn State.

Here is a snapshot look at one of Penn State’s offensive pickups in the Class of 2025.
