Penn State now in contention with Nebraska for Khalil Taylor

· Yahoo Sports

As far as Penn State are concerned, Khalil Taylor is their number one priority. However, due to the flip of Jamir Dean to Georgia and Campbell's recruiting struggles within Pennsylvania, landing his commitment is far from a foregone conclusion. Now, Nebraska could be back in the race for his signature with a late push. All signs pointed to clear roads ahead for the Nittany Lions, but Taylor may have other plans.

According to several reports, Taylor had canceled all of his remaining official visits, including those with Nebraska and Alabama, to focus on his visit to Penn State. However, his trip to Lincoln will be back on for this weekend. Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule is known for his aggressive approach in recruiting when it comes to the Northeast, but Pennsylvania has seemingly been his forte.

Most importantly is that Rhule will want to be aggressive after missing out on yet another four star PA recruit in Matthew Gregory, and has ample resources to do so. Matt Campbell on the other hand, is just trying to stay afloat when it comes to in-state recruits. He only has one top 20 player from Pennsylvania within the current class and despite its overall outlook, it does not project as a satisfactory haul for some Penn State fans.

Taylor remains one of the Nittany Lion's only hopes at making amends. They cannot afford to miss out on him, or else there will be early questions about Campbell's recruiting methods in Happy Valley.
