With the class of 2024 recruiting almost finished for Penn State, it’s time to turn their attention over to the class of 2025. There are already three commitments secured for the Nittany Lions in the class with two of them being four-stars and one a three-star.
There will still be a long way to go in the recruitment process of those three prospects as all of them are out of state players. It’s a great sign that the program has been able to secure commitments from these players, indicating a strong relationship between them and the coaching staff.
On Friday, another 2025 prospect announced that he is eyeing Penn State as his college football team. Three-star [autotag]Cameron Miller[/autotag] released his top eight schools heading into the fall. Listed as a cornerback in the recruiting databases, he also plays wide receiver in high school.
Among Penn State, others on the list include Michigan, Georgia, Wisconsin, Illinois, West Virginia, Syracuse and Rutgers.

The 5’10” 165 pound cornerback is from New Jersey. Two of the three Penn State commitments in the class of 2025, [autotag]Jaelyne Matthews[/autotag] and [autotag]Omari Gaines[/autotag], are also from New Jersey.
On3’s industry rankings have Miller rated as a four-star prospect even though all four of the major recruiting services have him as a three-star.
Penn State was the first school who offered Miller back in August 2021 before he even played a single snap of high school football. He received 20 scholarship offers from schools before cutting his list down to eight.
On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine has the Nittany Lions as the favorites to land the cornerback. They’re sitting with a 68.2% chance, while Michigan is second with a 68.2% chance.
He’s visited Penn State the most of any school with six unofficial visits. The only other schools he’s visited are Georgia and Michigan once.
“My relationship with Coach Smith is great,” Miller told BlueWhiteIllustrated. “He’s a very upfront dude that loves the game of football. What makes him unique is that he uses all of his guys. Some coaches may have a select few, but with Coach Smith, he gets everyone playing time if you’re ready.”
It’s a good start in the recruitment process for a player who seems to be trending towards four-star status.
