Multiple targets at the top of their positions will visit, including Carter Meadows and Luke Wafle at defensive end, Damari Simeon and Titan Davis at defensive tackle, and Grayson McKeogh at offensive tackle. We'll discuss how critical it is for Penn State to land a number of the players visiting this weekend, especially considering this group comprises mostly trench players, which is where the Class of 2026 has its most remaining spots. Reporters Ryan Snyder and Sean Fitz will break down the visitors and we'll show you highlights of the team's top targets visiting this weekend. Wrapping up last weekend's biggest events Of course, last weekend was also crucial to the program's current and future success.

The team hosted its 2025 signing class on Friday and Saturday followed by its first camp of the summer to evaluate prospects for coming cycles. However, most of the focus this weekend was on one 2026 athlete trying to prove he belonged in the current class.

We tracked his progress and performance throughout the afternoon and Fitz will discuss what he thinks on today's recruiting update. We will also highlight the rest of the offensive line, thanks to our tracking of the group through the afternoon.

We'll show you the cover art featuring Nick Singleton and Penn State head coach James Franklin and discuss it. In more real-world news, the Athletic put out kick-time predictions for the first three games of the 2025 season. We'll discuss the potential impact of those games on the team's opening schedule and exposure against Nevada, FIU, and Villanova. Buy or SellWill Zakee Wheatly lead the Penn State defense in tackles? Can Singleton and teammate Kaytron Allen combine for over 2,500 rushing yards? We're playing Buy or Sell on today's show to discuss what we expect from the team's offensive and defensive output this year. We'll highlight areas where we believe the team will produce significant statistical outputs and others where we anticipate the team may fall behind. Keystone Players Football is a game built on the collective efforts of 11 individuals working together. Yet, not every job or position on the field is as critical as the next. So, we're not asking which players are the best or will put out the most stats this coming year; we're discussing which players are the most irreplaceable on the team.

We'll discuss where Penn State sits on the list of final schools and when he'll visit Happy Valley. Next, we'll flip to the other side of the football to discuss the offensive line. Penn State has built a strong culture under offensive line coach Phil Trautwein, who seems to have his pick of the class in 2026. Which players stand out, and is there a race to secure a spot in the class? We'll discuss what Snyder pieced together in his reporting. Finally, we'll wrap up our discussion of Davion Brown's commitment to the program on Monday and discuss any other topics our experts think you need to know. Official visit weekend Of course, the main event this weekend begins on Friday. Top players like safety Joey O'Brien, cornerback Khary Adams, and linebacker Cincere Johnson will take their official visits this weekend. We'll look at each player's impact on the class, where they are on the big board for the program, and more. Of couse we'll preview all of the players visiting this weekend. Elite 11 Wraps up qualifiers for Finals in State College Finally, we'll preview the Elite 11 qualifier coming to State College on Sunday. Penn State's quarterback commits, Troy Huhn and Peyton Falzone, will attend the event. We'll discuss what we expect and want to see from the duo this weekend. However, the Elite 11 isn't just for quarterbacks. In years past, top commits like Luke Reynolds, Andrew Olesh, Layton Von Brandt, and Lyrick Samuel have attended the event's All-22 camp.

While the team could still add players already in the portal, it's less likely by the day that will happen. So, today on the BWI Live Show, we're re-ranking the Penn State offensive positions. We ranked the positions before spring football on the site and will now reveal which positions we think took the biggest steps in player acquisition and development over the last two months. Join the show live at 10 a.m. on YouTube to be part of the show! Don't like the rankings? Give us your rundown in the live chat, and we'll read the best out while live. Penn State Football NewsIt's a quiet time of the year for the program, with most of the focus shifting to recruiting. However, there has been news about former Penn State players trying to make it in the NFL this week. Two former Nittany Lion defensive linemen signed with teams in the last four days for tryouts or rookie practice spots. We'll discuss how Amin Vanover and Dvon J-Thomas can make a roster this spring. We'll also briefly discuss the recruiting weekend. The Elite 11 wraps up its national tour in State College on Sunday. Blue White Illustrated will be at the event to watch two Penn State passers. The team has fielded at least one committed passer at the last three events in the shadow of Penn State's campus. We'll preview what we want to learn about Peyton Falzone and Troy Huhn this weekend. Power Ranking the offenseEach year we track the team's progress in the offseason by ranking it's collective pieces on both sides of the ball pre and post spring football. This year, we're starting with the offense in our post-spring evaluation. Penn State added another wide receiver to the mix hours before the Blue-White Game when former Syracuse receiver Trebor Pena committed to the program. Was that enough to get the position out of the basement? We'll discuss the team's roster, counting from five to one on the show. We'll also track how certain positions developed this spring, vaulting one team to a new number one on the offense while two critical positions merged even closer in the rankings. Be sure to check out the show live at 10 a.m. or catch the replay on the site. You can also listen to the audio version anywhere you get your podcasts. #PennState  #NittanyLions  JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationBookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters:  https://bluewhiteonline.com Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3

Today on the BWI Live Show, we'll discuss the impact of Davion Brown joining the program, plus we'll preview the upcoming season. We'll run through the roster and discuss if we think each position is better or worse than it was last season. Join the show today at 10 a.m. on YouTube so you don't miss any of the information or entertainment we've got for you today!

There's no one way to do it. Yet, there are some clues as to how other comparable programs have operated before they went on a championship run. Today, we'll see if Penn State stacks up to that with the recent speculation about the program. We'll review how many 2026 draft picks the team could put into the NFL in the top three rounds and how Penn State is building a strong consensus as the top team in college football. Fitz's Recruiting Update: A surprise commitment Penn State picked up a surprise commitment late Monday night when four-star wide receiver target Davion Brown committed to the program. Brown planned on visiting the team this coming weekend for an official visit, but pulled the trigger early and joined the team a few days ahead of his trip to HappY Valley. Why? Recruiting reporter Sean Fitz will discuss what he knows about the situation, and we'll give you an early impression of what Brown can provide Penn State in the Class of 2026. We'll also discuss how the team has another wide receiver target visiting this weekend and what fans should know about the offensive line class this cycle from reporter Ryan Snyder. Better or Worse? Finally, we'll end the show discussing the Penn State roster. The team was one drive away from the College Football National Championship game this January. With most of the team's talent returning, we'll ask a simple question. Is each position better or worse than it was in 2024? Today, we'll review the skill positions on offense to see where we think the program stands heading into the upcoming football season. #PennState  #NittanyLions  JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationBookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters:  https://bluewhiteonline.com Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3Better Or Worse?

Reporter Ryan Snyder has put in his pick for where he thinks Haskell will choose, which we'll discuss on today's show. The team also made the final cutdown for several top targets in the 2026 cycle this week. We'll discuss those names and why the lists don't matter as much as another list Penn State needs to be on for those players. Finally, we'll end this section of the show by discussing where coaches have visited during the month of May. It's a contact period for the staff, meaning they can go out and visit players across the country and continue the relationship-building efforts to secure talent for the next chapter.

The Big Ten has released pre-seeds for its 2025 wrestling championships. The two-day event is slated for this Saturday and Sunday, March 8-9, at Northwestern. Big Ten Network will televise the opening, semifinal, and final sessions. B1G+ will stream the rest of them. Blue-White Illustrated will have complete coverage throughout the weekend as Penn State seeks its thrid straight conference tournament title.Below, we have three things we learned from the pre-seeds, which are not finalized until after Friday's coaches meeting in Evanston but are unlikely to change. You can also watch the BWI Penn State wrestling show and find links to the podcast version.1. The seeds look mostly as expectedUnlike some years, there was little social media outrage about the pre-seeds this year. They look mostly as many anticipated them to. Penn State has five top seeds -- Beau Bartlett (141), Shayne Van Ness (149), Mitchell Mesenbrink (165), Levi Haines (174), and Carter Starocci (184) -- as expected. Gabe Arnold is in for Iowa instead of Angelo Ferrari at 184 and is the No. 4 seed, which means he could meet Starocci in the semifinals after plenty of trash talk was exchanged before the Hawkeyes-Lions dual meet but Iowa went with Ferrari over Arnold opposite Starocci.Looking back at our roundup of seed projections, there were questions about where sophomore 133-pound starter Braeden Davis would end up. He is at No. 4, which was one potential landing spot. And, while most figured Shayne Van Ness would have the top seed at 149, there was some question about it. But, he did indeed land it.

Some of that work will be accomplished through effort and dedication and some will happen by luck or providence. On today's show, we're counting down the top five things that can happen this offseason that would make an ideal run up to the fall. Reporter Greg Pickel joins the show to discuss the latest Penn Sate football news, including the team's max testing day and the interview with strength coach Chuck Losey coming up on Thursday before the team disperses for Spring Break.

What are the most realistic best-case scenarios that can befall the team from March to August? We'll discuss those and outline what the team needs to do to make that happen between now and then. Join the show to give your top five! Sunday Film StudyFinally, we'll end the show by discussing what we've learned about Jim Knowles's defensive evolution through his time at Oklahoma State through his final season at Ohio State.

We'll preview our conversation with strength and conditioning coach Chuck Losey as well. Fitz and Bauer didn't get a chance to discuss the addition of Trace McSorley to the staff last week, so we'll discuss what they take from the news that McSorley is joining the program as an assistant QB coach. We'll also wrap up the 2025 NFL Combine and the results from Jaylen Reed's performance this past weekend. Fitz's Recruiting updateThe biggest piece of news from the program this week was that three-star Indiana wide receiver Jerquaden Guilford decommitted from the program over the weekend. While Guilford doesn't have the stars, he's a favorite among the recruiting industry with offers from all the top programs in the country. How big of a blow is it to Penn State's efforts to rebuild its wide receiver room? Fitz will discuss what he thinks of the news and how concerned fans should be. Also, spring visits are back up and running this month, so Fitz will discuss the news you need to know about who is visiting the program this month. BWI MailbagFinally, we'll get to the star of the show: you!

The bad news is that the secret is out on many of the team's top targets. Will the extra attention on Luke Wafle, Carter Meadows, and other regional prospects make it more difficult for Penn State to land those players? Fitz and Snyder will discuss that idea, plus give their thoughts on the rankings. Snyder also spoke with On3, Director of Scouting Charles Power, about the players in Penn State's orbit. Quarterback commit Troy Huhn took a massive tumble down the rankings, and Snyder discussed why that happened for the California passer. NFL Combine PreviewHowever, we'll start the show with the latest Penn State football news of the week. The defensive line and linebackers take to the field for the 2025 NFL Combine today in Indianapolis. Kobe King will be the lone representative for the Nittany Lions today after the announcement that Abdul Carter won't be working out this week. The news last night was that medical tests revealed an additional injury that Carter suffered. We'll give you that info and preview the Combine to start the show.  Official Visit updates Pt 3. The Penn State calendar is already chalked full of official visits for the end of May into June, and new visits are popping up daily.

Today, we'll cover his pivot to focusing on the "marketing" aspect of the new era of college football and player payment. Kraft started out strong, discussing the way things are changing this year with revenue sharing entering college sports. Senior Editor Nate Bauer gives fans context about Kraft's comments and what they should take away from his answers to questions about NIL this past week. Kraft also mentioned the team's plan for player retention over aggressive portal acquisitions. At the same time, he made it clear that the team won't be bystanders for filling key roles that the team needs to fill. Did he hint that the program will be aggressive this spring to try and win a championship in 2025? We'll also review his comments about Beaver Stadium, spring football and what's next for the college football calendar. Fitz's recruiting udpateThe Penn State Class of 2026 got a fresh update on Monday as well.

Penn State has a strong run-on culture within the program that is under threat with the new rules proposed by the NCAA. Those rules stem from the House Settlement and the ramifications of revenue sharing coming to college sports. Fitz spoke with second-year players who aren't on scholarship earlier this month to get an idea of where their mindset is heading into an uncertain time in sports. We'll discuss his article at Blue White Illustrated. If you want to read the full piece, check it out here. If you're not a member, sign up right now with our best deal of the year!

Plenty of fans hope that this group can achieve a top five or ten finish in recruiting rankings and push the team over the top in recruiting. While we've discussed that topic several times on the show, today we're discussing how this group fits into the bigger picture. What are the strengths of this cycle? Where does Penn State need to add players this cycle to fill in gaps or enhance strengths in the current roster? While the nature of college football has changed from a long-term view, there are still aspects of team building that play into recruiting. Next, we'll look at the committed class as it stands in the cycle. Penn State has nine commits who have verbally joined the program. We'll discuss where that stands in comparison to the rest of the country, previous recruiting classes at this time, and what factors may have led to nine players on board at this point. Finally, we'll recap the latest official visit announcements and introduce you to some new names that will check out Penn State this summer. #PennState  #NittanyLions  JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationBookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters:  https://bluewhiteonline.com Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3Penn State Class of 2026 Recruiting Reset | Official Visit Schedule Filling Up
