More to come? The bad news for the top of Penn State's 2026 prospects started Wednesday when four-star tackle Greyson McKeogh chose Notre Dame over Penn State and Texas. Shortly after, industry experts put in picks for top defensive back targets Khary Adams and Joey O'Brien to join him in South Bend. After that, reports from On3 surfaced that USC and Ohio State were in a bidding war for top defensive end Luke Wafle, who was about to command a seven-figure NIL package. Where does that leave Penn State? Snyder will do his best to give fans the intel on why things are trending away from the Nittany Lions with in-state and regional targets. We'll also discuss who is left on the board and what the program can do to make up ground. Penn State finishing June with three camps in five days Penn State hosted a smaller mid-week camp on Wednesday that BWI attended. Several top commits and prospects were also in attendance. We'll discuss what we saw from defensive line commit Isaac Chukwurah, and 2027 target Abraham Sessay. Defensive back commits Julian Peterson and Matt Sieg also attended camp, which was our first time to see them work up close. We'll discuss how they performed. Previewing Visits and Camps to close JuneFinally, we'll preview the end of the 2025 June calendar. A recruiting dead period starts next week, lasting until the start of the 2025 season. It's the final chance to get prospects on campus for official visits and to have top targets visit the program. We'll discuss the upcoming players making their way to campus for a final round of official visits, and then those players will be invited to the Lasch Bash and White Out Camp on Sunday. Join the show live at 10 a.m. on YouTube! #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 relate what Power had to say about Polydor's film and what he expects from the St. Frances cornerback this coming season. Finally, Snyder will recap the conversations he had with Penn State's elite targets from last weekend.

The Avon Old Farms prospect received an offer less than a week ago and has quickly scheduled an official visit to Penn State for this weekend.

Phil Steele published his top 40 teams for the upcoming season, and Steele was very high on the Nittany Lions.

Today, we'll cover the biggest Penn State football news that's happened since then. Firstly, we'll discuss the report that Penn State and UCLA were the first two athletic departments to take on private equity from Elevate's College Investment Initiative. However, Penn State athletic director Pat Kraft quickly released a statement denying those reports, as did UCLA's athletic department. We'll discuss the situation to start the show. Next, we'll dig into the news that redshirt freshman Max Granville suffered a long-term injury after spring practice. Reporters Sean Fitz and Nate Bauer will discuss the impact on the defensive end position and where that leaves Penn State's pass-rushing unit. NCAA Settlement ushers in new era of college footballNext, the college sports world learned over the weekend that Judge Claudia Wilkins signed off on the House v. NCAA settlement agreement. The agreement sets into motion a new framework for college sports where the program can directly pay athletes. Does this mean the end of NIL? What does this mean for walk-on players? We'll discuss the most pressing questions for fans during the show. Fitz's recruiting update and Between the Lines Finally, we'll end the show by getting into some real football topics. Penn State hosted a massive contingent of offensive and defensive line prospects this weekend, including some of the top remaining players in the Class of 2026. How did the team do in convincing those players that Penn State is the place to be? Fitz will discuss the reaction to the weekend, plus share his thoughts about what he saw at the team's various prospect camps on Friday and Sunday. Lastly, we'll rewind the clock to last Thursday at noon when Penn State head coach James Franklin sat down (literally) with the media to discuss the state of the team in June. We'll review three of his comments during our series Between the Lines. Join the show today to be part of the action!

The team hosted its current commitments in the Class of 2026 last weekend, tying up loose ends and bringing the class together for a celebratory weekend. Now, the team will host one of its most important weekends of the summer, with most of its top defensive line targets and several top players at other positions coming to Happy Valley en mass on Friday. We'll discuss that, break down Joey O'Brien's final four schools, and recap the past weekend's camps. Join the BWI Live show for a special 9 a.m. start time today. We'll cover those topics, along with your comments and questions, in the live chat!

We'll give you the latest information on the four-star prospect and what the news could mean for Penn State. Official visit previewOf course, the most critical news this week is that Penn State hosts its most star-studded lineup of the official visit season. While they've hosted top talent and players critical to this cycle's success, no weekend has as many as June 6-8. 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. Snyder went to the Under Armour camp in Baltimore and will give his report on what he saw and who stood out during the event.

The long-standing issue of when to hold the annual White Out Game is over.

We'll discuss that, another honor for Saquon Barkley, plus recruiting and team discussion throughout the show! Join the BWI Live show at 10 a.m. on YouTube today as we discuss if the defensive secondary will be better or worse than last season.

We discuss how significant a win, either in perception or reality, this decision is for the program. Next up, we'll discuss the news that Barkley is the latest cover athlete for the Madden video game franchise. Is this a boost for Penn State recruiting? Or just another fun achievement for Nittany Lions fans to celebrate? Fitz's Recruiting UdpateThe next phase of Penn State recruiting began in earnest over the weekend. 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. Detroit offensive lineman Ben Eziuka camped with the program to prove that he'd improved from last offseason. How did that go? 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. Finally, we'll preview the upcoming official visit weekend, which is stocked with elite talent. Is this Penn State's most important recruiting weekend of the official visit calendar? Fitz will weigh in. Better or Worse and the BWI Mailbag Finally, we'll end the show by discussing the Penn State football team for 2025. Is the team better or worse in the defensive backfield?

Several high-profile players chose to return for their senior seasons, seeking the chance to win a national title and enhance their draft stock. But which players on the team are absolutely critical to the team's success this year? We're naming the team's "Keystone Players" on which the season's hopes hinge. We'll also preview the upcoming season by playing Buy or Sell and answer your questions in the BWI Mailbag! Join the BWI Live Show today at 10 a.m. on YouTube or catch the replay any time. You can also catch the show wherever you get your podcasts. Penn State news We'll start the show with a quick Penn State football news segment. The new cover for College Football '26 was released this week, and the team is featured on the cover. 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. Today, we'll outline the Keystone players on defense, without whom the team's defensive plan may fall apart. BWI MailbagFinally, we open the show's last segment to you!

Reports this weekend say that Fleming was in an ATV accident. From the original report:“In a release, troopers say before 8:15 p.m., authorities were called to Painter Lick Lane in Columbia Township Friday night after an ATV crash. State police explain that the ATV was traveling Northbound on Painter Lick Lane when it struck a deer that jumped out into the roadway.”We'll discuss the situation. In less sober news, we'll move on to today's main topic. Penn State is now a favorite topic of conversation for national media. Some of the compliments and criticism are fair for the 2025 squad. Some are not. Reporter Nate Bauer broke down what he saw as the facts and the fiction behind the hype for the program this offseason. We'll discuss his recent article on today's show. Fitz's Recruiting Update It was a big weekend in New Jersey for top prospects in the Northeast on Saturday. The Under Armour camp circuit came through the region, attracting top talent from Penn State's recruiting footprint, especially on the offensive and defensive line. We'll discuss what recruiting reporter Sean Fitz saw this weekend from players like offensive line commits Roseby Lubintus and Layton von Brandt, as well as top prospects like Jackson Vaughn and Maxwell Hiller. It's also another important weekend for the Class of 2026 coming up on Friday. We'll have another official visit preview on Fitz's Recruiting Update. Better or Worse? One of the narratives we'll discuss earlier in today's show is about the Penn State defense. There's a feeling that unit can be better this year under new defensive coordinator Jim Knowles. We'll dive deeper into that topic today in our summer series Better or Worse? We'll examine the front seven to see if the defensive ends, linebackers, and defensive tackles can be better than they were in 2024. Have a question?

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.

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!

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.
