A new football pledge to Penn State lights up the season opening with a multi-touchdown display.

The return of high school football to the Keystone State this week did not take long for Kemon Spell, the newest Nittany Lions pledge, to get back into the swing of things. The running back from McKeesport, who has committed to play football for Penn State, got off to a great start on Friday night, demonstrating why he’s been regarded as one of the country’s best prospects for the 2027 recruiting class.

After the game, Spell told Pittsburgh Sports Now, “I’m always looking for the touchdown; it’s always the end zone.” “But without my guys up front, I can’t do this.” I want to thank my line for getting me in the end zone on every play; they are the reason I am where I am today.

Spell, who on August 2 became the first Penn State football recruit for the 2027 recruiting class. In less than three weeks, On3 ranked the WPIAL star as the class’s top running back and the seventh-best recruit in the country.

It’s quite a bit.Being at the top is really significant to me,” Spell remarked. “As a child, I imagined all of this. That was my intention. I wanted to be at Penn State because I adore the coaching there. I adore every single one of those up there. adore Coach Franklin. It’s simply where I wanted to be right now.
