In a stunning development, 5-star wide receiver Cam Camper has announced his decision to decommit from Boise State and flip his commitment to Penn State. Camper, who had previously pledged to join the Broncos, was also heavily recruited by BYU, Utah, and a host of other top programs. The announcement comes just weeks before National Signing Day, sending shockwaves through the college football recruiting landscape.
Camper, ranked as one of the top wide receivers in the nation, is known for his blazing speed, elite route-running ability, and remarkable hands. At 6’3” and 195 pounds, he is a game-changing playmaker who has drawn comparisons to NFL stars like Justin Jefferson and Davante Adams. Over the past two seasons, Camper has dominated on the field, amassing over 1,800 receiving yards and 25 touchdowns in his senior year alone.
“I want to thank Boise State and their coaching staff for believing in me and giving me an opportunity,” Camper wrote in a social media post. “After much prayer and consideration with my family, I have decided to reopen my recruitment and commit to Penn State. I feel this is the best decision for my future, both on and off the field.”
Penn State’s head coach, James Franklin, wasted no time celebrating the addition of Camper, who is expected to play a pivotal role in the Nittany Lions’ offense. “Cam is an exceptional talent and a young man of great character. We are thrilled to welcome him to the Penn State family,” Franklin said.
The decision marks a significant blow to Boise State, which had hoped to make Camper the centerpiece of its 2025 recruiting class. It also represents a missed opportunity for BYU and Utah, both of which were considered strong contenders for the dynamic wideout.
With Camper’s commitment, Penn State solidifies its position as one of the top recruiting programs in the nation, further bolstering a class that already ranks among the best in the Big Ten. Camper’s arrival is expected to have an immediate impact, providing quarterback Drew Allar with a premier target in the passing game.
This high-profile flip underscores the intensity and unpredictability of college football recruiting, where nothing is finalized until the ink dries on signing day.
