Penn State is making it clear they’re not hitting the brakes on recruiting, even amid major coaching changes. One player who’s taken notice? Ka’ron Ceaser, a 2027 cornerback out of Winslow Township in Atco, New Jersey.
Ceaser first picked up an offer from the Nittany Lions back in August, courtesy of associate head coach and cornerbacks coach Terry Smith. It was a big moment for the rising prospect-and one that immediately put Penn State on his radar. But when James Franklin was let go in October, Ceaser, like many recruits, wasn’t sure where things stood.
That uncertainty didn’t last long.
Enter Savon Huggins, Penn State’s new running backs coach. During a recent visit, Huggins re-affirmed the offer and made it clear that the new staff still sees Ceaser as a priority. That kind of clarity matters, especially for a young player navigating the early stages of the recruiting process.
So Ceaser made the trip-three and a half hours up to State College-for Penn State’s final junior day before the recruiting dead period. And it wasn’t just a casual stop-in. He spent the day getting to know the new-look coaching staff, having meaningful conversations, and getting a feel for where he might fit in the program’s future.
By the end of the visit, Penn State had done more than just stay in the picture-they’d solidified themselves as a serious contender in Ceaser’s recruitment.
It’s still early in the 2027 cycle, but this much is clear: the Nittany Lions are staying aggressive, and Ka’ron Ceaser is listening.
