The top contenders have emerged for Pittsburgh Pine-Richland 4-star wide receiver Khalil Taylor and he cemented them on Friday afternoon. Taylor told Rivals’ Hayes Fawcett that Colorado, Georgia, Nebraska, Ohio State, Penn State, and Syracuse are his top six schools.

The 5-foot-11, 180-pounder is the No. 73 overall prospect and No. 16 WR in the 2027 cycle, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking. He's also the No. 3 player in Pennsylvania. Taylor was committed to Penn State but decided to reopen his recruiting. At the same time, the Nittany Lions were busy shuffling their coaching staff.
