Penn State’s 2025 recruiting class took a hit as wide receiver Jerquaden Guilford announced he is decommitting from the program. The three-star prospect shared his decision on social media, stating he wants to reassess his options before making a final choice.
Guilford, a talented receiver from Georgia, originally committed to the Nittany Lions in early 2024. However, recent developments have led him to reconsider. While he did not specify a particular reason for stepping back from his pledge, the decision suggests he is keeping his options open as more programs continue to recruit him.
“After talking with my family and coaches, I’ve decided to decommit from Penn State and reopen my recruitment,” Guilford wrote. “I have great respect for the Penn State staff and appreciate their belief in me, but I want to make sure I’m making the best decision for my future.”
Guilford has been a rising prospect in the 2025 class, with offers from several Power Five programs, including Florida State, Tennessee, and South Carolina. With his recruitment now open again, other schools may ramp up their efforts to land him.
Penn State, meanwhile, will look to reinforce its receiving corps as it continues building its 2025 recruiting class. The Nittany Lions still hold commitments from multiple offensive playmakers, but losing Guilford creates an opportunity for another receiver to step into the mix.
It remains to be seen where Guilford will end up, but his decision adds another layer of intrigue to the 2025 recruiting cycle.
