Rivals ranks him as the No. 2 player in New York.<\/a><\/p>\n At 6-foot-4 and 185 pounds, Samuel has a long frame and a big catch radius. He is coming off a standout season at powerhouse Erasmus Hall (Brooklyn, New York).<\/p>\n He takes long strides and uses his length well to make contested catches.<\/p>\n Samuel posted on social media on Monday evening about his commitment to Penn State.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I will like to thank every program that has taken the time to show an interest in me. After deep consideration and conversations with my family I have decided that I will be committing to Penn State University #WeARE<\/a> @Dannylandberg<\/a> @coachjfranklin<\/a> @CoachAhmadPSU<\/a> @coachmhagans<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/CyOKdNUyjG<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Lyrick Samuel (@IamLyrickSamuel) February 20, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n With the commitment, Penn State now has 12 players who have given a verbal in the 2025 class.
