The team sent five players to the NFL via the draft over the three-day weekend and many more found homes as undrafted free agents. Next, we'll dive into our thoughts on the Blue-White Game. We did our instant analysis on Saturday after the game, but we'll dig deeper into our notebooks to give a more comprehensive conversation about the game and our thoughts about Penn State's progress through spring football. Reporters Nate Bauer and Sean Fitz were on hand to see the game, and we'll relate our experience to fans who didn't get a chance to see the game. Also, we've been running a contest for new subscribers to the YouTube channel over the last month. Today, we're revealing the five winners who will get a subscription to the site for signing up during the last 30 days. Transfer portal recapHours before the Blue-White Game, Penn State football got a shot in the arm of positive news. Syracuse wide receiver Trebor Pena committed to the program after skipping a visit with Miami. The team addressed a major need in the portal with one of the best players available. We'll discuss how he fits into the lineup and what his presence means for the team's passing attack. Next, we'll discuss Penn State head coach James Franklin's comments from Saturday about the team's need for a linebacker in the portal. We'll recap the news from Sunday that the staff is aggressively pursuing options in the portal, which is now closed. Finally, we'll recap the latest recruiting news, including a weekend commitment and recruits visiting campus for the Blue-White Game. Penn State Blue-White Game Recap | Will Team Add MORE Talent In The Portal?#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

Not only does the 2025 NFL Draft kick off tonight in Green Bay, but the team concluded its final open media session on Wednesday night. With the Blue-White Game this weekend, the team's visibility on the college football and national radar is high. We're covering all of that today on the BWI Live Recruiting Show. Join the show today at 10 a.m. on YouTube to discuss the team's progress as they exit camp, the Draft, and of course, recruiting. The team hosted players yesterday and will host more over the next few days, culminating in the Blue-White Game on Saturday. We'll cover the names you need to know who are visiting the program this weekend. NCAA Lawsuit conclusion held up by roster limits We'll start with possibly the most impactful news on the program's upcoming season, which has nothing to do with the team. The House v. NCAA case settlement has hit a major roadblock with judge Claudia Wilken refusing to accept a hard cutoff of walk-on players this year and instead grandfathering players into a gradual limitation of the roster limits over the next several seasons. We'll discuss what that means for the Penn State roster and the players fighting for a spot on the team this spring and summer. Next, we'll discuss the team's NFL Draft prospects who will go in the first round of the Draft tonight. We'll take a recruiting angle on the conversation, discussing the value of having two first-round picks: Abdul Carter and Tyler Warren. Penn State practice recapOf course, the team held open practice last night, so we'll recap what we saw and heard on Wednesday night. What did Penn State head coach James Franklin say about the format for the game? We'll review that, show you highlights from practice, and more! Penn State recruiting visits and conversationsThe team will hold four practices this week, including the Blue-White Game on Saturday. How has the team done at getting prospects on campus? It's the final push before the May evaluation period leading into official visits at the end of the month. Can the team push a few more commitments across the line this weekend? Recruiting reporters Sean Fitz and Ryan Snyder will discuss the upcoming names for the Blue-White Game, plus detail conversations they've had over the last week with recruits, parents, and coaches.  #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 Practice Recap and Blue-White Recruiting Preview

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.

With such an abridged offseason, what are reporters Sean Fitz and Nate Bauer looking for when they get to see the Penn State players up close? 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. Snyder has been tracking the additions to the summer calendar and discusses the most interesting and meaningful ones on today's program. #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

We'll dive into what that means for Linebacker U and for new defensive coordinator Jim Knowles. Spring Transfer Portal Claims its first victim The Penn State football team has done an excellent job retaining players and making sure to keep most of its own depth throughout the transfer portal era. Still the team isn't impervious to the portal, which lured resever defensive lineman Smith Vilbert away from the team this week. We'll discuss the impact of his loss, the way the team can replace him and what the plan was for Vilbert this upcoming season. Penn State at the NFL CombineFinally, we'll discuss the contingent representing Penn State at the NFL Combine this week in Indianapolis.

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

We'll mainly focus on the team's freshman class and which players showed up with the measurables to contribute next fall if things go well for each player. Rebuilding the Penn State offense Kotelnicki dramatically improved the team's explosive play percentage on offense last year and helped the program reach its first Big Ten Championship game since 2016 and a college football playoff run. As always, teams must evolve and change year to year based on the talent turnover from the previous season. While much of the core remains the same from 2024, there are places that Penn State can adapt and change the plan for the upcoming season.

Penn State shutout Michigan 39-0 on Friday. Then, it beat Maryland 35-10 on Sunday. What did we learn from the two victories? The duo discusses that as the Lions took their 67th and 68th consecutive dual meets.From there, the conversation moves on to the injury front. Braeden Davis, the starter at 133 pounds, missed another two matches and has now sat out the team's last three due to injury. Tyler Kasak, meanwhile, had to injury default out of Sunday's bout with Terrapin Ethen Miller. It's not yet clear if either will be available this weekend.The show closes with a look ahead to a Friday night match with No. 5 Ohio State before traveling to No. 19 Illinois. The top bout in Columbus will feature No. 1 Jesse Mendez vs. No. 3 Beau Bartlett at 141 pounds. Mendez beat the Penn State senior in both last year's national final and also at this season's NWCA All-Star Classic. What can fans expect from Penn State this weekend? The show closes with thoughts on that.#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

He'll also discuss what the freshmen running backs had to say about the situation during their interviews with the media yesterday afternoon. Between the Lines Next, we'll discuss the coaching search from Franklin's perspective. He discussed what he's looking for in his next leader of the running back room. He once again stressed that the team doesn't have time to wait and needs a coach who can immediately make an impact. However, he brought up some other topics within that answer that may or may not have to do with the current coaching search. We'll discuss those thoughts, plus potential changes to spring football during Between the Lines. Freshman Media Day Finally, we'll discuss the young players we talked to and the main takeaways from those conversations.

 Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3KzEcqKCheck out the site too! - https://bit.ly/3u8dilDThe Penn State Football team became victim of the College Football Playoff coaching shuffle early on Sunday when running back's coach JaJuan Seider reportedly accepted an offer to coach at Notre Dame. The Lions had just poached their own coach from CFP Champion Ohio State two weeks earlier so the dynamic of late-offseason coaching changes isn't new to the program at this point. Now, the team will need to replace one of the longest-tenured assistants under head coach James Franklin. We'll discuss that, Penn State superstar Saquon Barkley winning a Super Bowl, and more on today's BWI Live Show. Join us at 10 a.m. on YouTube or catch the replay on the channel, site, or wherever you get your podcasts. Don't forget to subscribe to the Blue White Illustrated YouTube Channel so you don't miss any off-season press conferences or breaking news! Saquon Barkley wins his first Super Bowl We'll start off with Barkley's win in Super Bowl LIX. The former Penn State running back carried the ball 25 times for just 57 yards, but his team dominated the Kansas City Chiefs on the way to a 40-22 blowout victory that featured 16 Chiefs points in the fourth quarter once the game was put away. We'll discuss Barkley's historic season, plus talk about the game. Join us to get in on the conversation! Penn State needs to replace a top assistant Of course, the main focus of today's show is on the team's loss of Seider to recruiting rival Notre Dame. Seider has been one of the team's top assistants over the last seven years and has brought a steady flow of high-quality running back prospects to the program in recent years. What's the sting factor in losing him? What can the team do to replace him quickly, and does this represent an opportunity to change and refresh the room? We'll also discuss the recruiting aspect of that conversation in Fitz's recruiting update. From there, we'll discuss Sean Fitz's recruiting big board, which you can check out at Blue White Illustrated by signing up for a membership to the site. We'll also review the summer official visit schedule, which is filling up in early February. Penn State freshmen meet the mediaTomorrow marks the start of the 2025 season for Penn State football with the February media day. Franklin will speak to the media for the first time since his team's loss to Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl to discuss a variety of topics, including hiring defensive coordinator Jim Knowles, the loss of Seider, and more. We'll also get our first chance to meet the Class of 2024 freshmen, which completed its first year on campus. We'll discuss what we expect from tomorrow and who we intend to talk with during the day of interviews. Want to discuss something else?

While any team would trade the opportunity at a national championship for a weekend or two hosting prospects, it limits the time and players the team could meet. So, with all that considered, how did Penn State do in January? Recruiting experts Sean Fitz and Ryan Snyder discuss the team's progress in the past month and recap the major events that happened over the previous few weeks. NIL Conversation from Pete NakosOn3 national reporter Pete Nakos surveyed anonymous NIL executives and staffers from several of the major conferences to get a lay of the land for how much teams spent this past season on recruits and in the portal. He also got an idea of what the going rate for certain positions is and where those numbers are heading. Of course, we'll relate these topics and conversations to Penn State football and where it stands in the new NIL environment. Can the team keep up with the rising rates of players? Given the situation last year, how much more impressive is the team's run to a final four? We'll discuss those ideas and put the situation into context for fans. Top targets cutting list of schools, 2025 reviewFinally, we'll discuss the upcoming announcements from top targets this month. Players like Alex Haskell and Davion Brown are narrowing their list of potential schools. Did Penn State make the cut? We'll discuss the future of the team while taking one last look back at the Class of 2025, with the traditional national signing day happening yesterday. #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

Of course, Penn State fans are smart and want to know the immediate return on the highest-paid coordinator in college football history now.

 Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3KzEcqKCheck out the site too! - https://bit.ly/3u8dilDWhile nothing is ever settled in the shifting sands of college football, we can reasonably assume that the Penn State roster is mostly set for the spring semester and spring football season. On today's show, we'll review the final numbers on the transfer portal for the Nittany Lions. The team officially announced the additions earlier this month, and all but one of its existing players have chosen a new home. Join the BWI Live Show to discuss what the roster looks like on the other side of those moves. Reporter Greg Pickel joins the show to take you through the team's strongest and weakest positions as we reset the Penn State roster for 2025. We'll also dive deeper into the team's transition to defense under new coordinator Jim Knowles and what changes he could bring to the team for the coming season. Penn State roster reset Of course, the main story for all Penn State fans is about new defensive coordinator Jim Knowles. The program released a clip of Knowles addressing the team on social media yesterday, and Pickel will discuss the news surrounding it. From there, we'll transition to the other additions and subtractions from the roster this offseason. Former Penn State safety Tyrece Mills announced his new college destination this week. With that, only one former player in the portal has yet to find a home for the upcoming season.Next, we'll review the announcement from the program last week about the team's newest members. Penn State announced new weights for the incoming transfers, some of which raised eyebrows about the jumps in size from their previously listed size measurements. We'll discuss what that could mean for the team's needs this fall. Strengths and weaknessesWhile there's still time for players to arrive and leave in the spring portal window - and you can never count out a lawsuit against the NCAA - we're considering the roster set for the upcoming semester. Which positions look the strongest on paper? We'll review where the team can build its identity during spring football. Next, we'll look at the positions that need to be developed and take a step toward Penn State finding balance and a well-rounded attack next season. Jim Knowles's defensive breakdownFinally, we'll use the final show segment to discuss what we've learned at Blue White Illustrated about Knowles's defense and what changes he might bring to the program. After studying his defense at Ohio State, listening to virtual clinics, and reading into the data, we've got an early sketch of some differences in how the new head man on defense operates. #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 Roster Reset: Looking at Positional Strengths for 2025

Head coach James Franklin sent shockwaves through the sport this week by hiring defensive coordinator Jim Knowles away from the Ohio State Buckeyes just days after Knowles won a championship with his former team.

So today, we'll discuss the larger impact of Franklin's move to make Knowles the highest-paid coordinator in college football. We'll discuss the team's efforts to join the elites in the sport and why Knowles' impact goes beyond what he can do on the field as a coordiantor. However, that last part is also important, so we'll discuss what changes you might see to the Penn State defensive personality and the team's approach to different aspects of the game. Fitz's recruiting UpdatePenn State also got a new commitment this weekend amid the flurry of activity off the field. New Jersey cornerback Julian Peterson committed to the program on Saturday evening in an under-the-radar signing by the Nittany Lions to get the defensive secondary on the board in the Class of 2026. Recruiting expert Sean Fitz discusses the impact of his signing, the response to Penn State's first junior day, and more!

One of the early storylines for Penn State football is that they're a top team contending for the National Championship and quarterback Drew Allar is again in the conversation for a Heisman. But how realistic is any of that? Today on the BWI Live Show, we discuss the factors that would lead Penn State to another deep playoff run and a chance at a Championship in 2025. Join the show at 10 a.m. to get your thoughts on those subjects, plus join the BWI Mailbag portion, back from its postseason hiatus. As always, the best way to know when we go live and post breaking news, or other great content is to subscribe to the Blue White Illustrated YouTube Channel and enable notifications. Allar for Heisman? The early odds for the Heisman winner in 2025 are out, and Drew Allar has the fourth-best odds of any player in college football. Is that realistic? We discuss what it takes to win the award and how the Penn State offense can help or hold Allar back. The Nittany Lions need Allar to take the next step and become the best version of himself next year, but does that correlate to postseason awards? We'll discuss the tactical ways that can happen and what the most realistic outcome is as we sit in January. Next, we'll discuss the biggest questions for the Penn State offense and defense, which was part of Greg Pickel's "Four Thoughts" from yesterday. Does Penn State have enough NFL talent to win a championship?We'll continue our theme of Penn State's path to a National Championship by discussing a tweet from Senior Bowl director Jim Nagy. In a social media post on Tuesday, Nagy claimed that it takes NFL talent to win a championship in college football. He posted the last six winners of the CFP and the number of NFL Draft picks they had in that year's draft. Where does Penn State stand with potential draft talent for 2026? We'll look at that and examine this article from yesterday about how many players the Lions may realistically send to the NFL after next season. BWI MailbagFinally, we'll discuss your questions and thoughts in the BWI Mailbag!
