An already strong recruiting day for Penn State got even better on Saturday afternoon as key 2027 running back commitment Kemon Spell shut down his recruitment after receiving interest from other programs, including Notre Dame.
Spell originally committed to Penn State this past August and is one of now three commitments in the class joining offensive lineman Layton von Brandt and wide receiver Khalil Taylor, who committed to the Nittany Lions earlier on Saturday.
He is ranked by Rivals as a top-75 prospect in the 2027 recruiting cycle and is considered the top-ranked talent within the state of Pennsylvania and a top-five running back nationally.
Spell in his recruitment has also picked up offers from Florida State, Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, UCLA, West Virginia, and Wisconsin among others. His most recent offer came from the Fighting Irish, who offered the Mckeesport standout on their "Pot of Gold Day" event to coincide with St. Patrick's Day.
Notre Dame running backs coach Ja'Juan Seider was a key part of Spell's recruitment and commitment to the Nittany Lions prior to leaving Happy Valley for South Bend this offseason.
