View more Video Transcript A lot of scoop from Penn State. Good things so far. I've got my fingers crossed. Sounds like good things so far on these wide receiver transfers. Which could be the difference between them losing two games and winning a national title this year. Uh, Kobe Hudson's a freshman like him. Uh, they got a redshirt freshman, Tyse Denmark like him. So all of a sudden, wide receiver depth at Penn State is a concept that could be a reality. You're saying to yourself, I'm gonna have to see that to believe it. That's okay, because I'm the same way. Some things I have to see, like Lincoln Riley having a really good defense. I gotta see that to believe it. Wide receiver play scaling up at Penn State. Respectfully, I gotta see it to believe it. I will also tell you that we have heard great things about Amari Campbell, uh, that is a North Carolina transfer at linebacker who could green dot him. It could be the play caller there for Penn State. And I mean, that's a team that's really good defensively. Tony Rojas is there. Expect a big year from him. Linebacker, but Amari Campbell was talking to some guys that were on the staff at North Carolina last year, could not say enough good things about Amari Campbell. And so that's a guy that's overlooked because of the wide receivers they went and got, but Amari Campbell, you're gonna see him like Oregon comes in there in week 4, week 5, I think just remember that name, because that's a kid by week 5 I really, really think it's gonna be a stalwart defensively for them, and you know they got a lot of them.

Previewing the 2025 season for Penn State WR Lyrick Samuel with his player profile
Previewing the 2025 season for Penn State WR Lyrick Samuel with his player profile Going into the 2025 football season, Nittany Lions Wire will examine each player listed on the Penn State roster. Over the preseason, each profile will cover the player's background, how recruiting websites rated them coming out of high school, and what role they will play for James Franklin this season. Lyrick Samuel, a freshman wide receiver for Penn State in the 2025 season, brings significant potential to the Nittany Lions' offense. Samuel's length, speed, and knack for contested catches make him a promising outside threat. Early enrollee buzz, including a noteworthy one-handed catch in spring practice and touchdown in the Blue-White Game, suggest he's adapting quickly under wide receivers coach Marques Hagans. Preseason Player Profile Hometown: Brooklyn, New York Height: 6-4 Weight: 187 lb Class in 2025: Freshman Recruiting Rankings Class of 2025: 3-star recruit by 247Sports, No. 57 wide receiver Samuel committed to Penn State in February 2024 over offers from Michigan State, Rutgers and Syracuse. Depth Chart Overview While competing in a deep receiver room, Samuel is a longshot for major snaps but could contribute on special teams or as a red zone target due to his size and length.
