Welcome back to Hardcore Penn State Football, your no-holds-barred hub for expert breakdowns, behind-the-scenes scoops, and unapologetic opinions on the Nittany Lions! In this timely episode – dropping just after Christmas on December 26, 2025 – hosts Cory Lestochi and Shawn Kane tackle the latest twists in Happy Valley as the Matt Campbell era takes shape. With the Pinstripe Bowl looming, we're covering the stinging loss of DL coach Deion Barnes to South Carolina, the surging 2026 recruiting class hitting nine commits, and how PSU is gearing up for a showdown with Clemson. From staff shakeups to future stars and bowl game strategies, this episode delivers the intel you need to stay ahead of the curve in Big Ten football. Ouch – another hit to the coaching staff! We start with the breaking news that defensive line coach Deion Barnes, a PSU alum and rising star in coaching circles, is bolting for South Carolina to join Shane Beamer's staff as their new DL coach and co-defensive coordinator. Barnes, who played a key role in developing beasts like Chop Robinson and Adisa Isaac, leaves a void after just a few seasons in Happy Valley. Recruiting is heating up under Campbell! After a rocky start with decommits following the coaching change, PSU has clawed back to nine verbal commitments in the 2026 class. Can Penn State get to 15 commits? Penn State takes on Clemson, Saturday, December 27th in Yankee Stadium. A matchup everyone at the beginning of the season thought could be for a National Championship, is now set for a meaningless bowl game. How will the team prepare? Coach Terry Smith leads the team one more time as interim head coach. If you're amped for the bowl and the Campbell rebuild, LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and ring the bell for instant updates!

Welcome back to Hardcore Penn State Football, the go-to podcast for unfiltered breakdowns, exclusive insights, and fiery debates on Nittany Lions football! In this jam-packed episode, hosts Cory Lestochi & Shawn Kane unpack the latest whirlwind developments in Happy Valley under new head coach Matt Campbell. As the team gears up for the Pinstripe Bowl and eyes a 2026 rebound, we're diving into the recruiting surge, the explosive leaked audio from AD Pat Kraft paired with King Mack's candid remarks, Nick Singleton's big Senior Bowl invite, and the uncertain status of QB Ethan Grunkemeyer. From drama to draft buzz, this episode has it all – tune in for expert analysis and what it means for PSU's path forward in the Big Ten. The Nittany Lions are back in beast mode on the recruiting front! With Matt Campbell at the wheel, PSU is aggressively rebuilding after the Franklin firing decimated the 2027 class and thinned out 2026 commitments. We detail the recent wave of additions to the 2026 class, including intriguing three-star safeties like Bryson Williams and other under-the-radar gems that fit Campbell's gritty, developmental style. Shawn breaks down how Campbell's staff is flipping decommits, targeting Midwest and DMV prospects, and leveraging NIL to compete with powerhouses like Ohio State. Plus, early looks at 2027 targets, such as West Coast offensive tackles where PSU is emerging as a favorite. Mike analyzes commitment trackers showing the class climbing from rock bottom to promising, with speculation on how these moves address needs at OL, DB, and WR for long-term contention. Drama alert! We dissect the controversial leaked 20-minute audio from Athletic Director Pat Kraft's players' meeting, where he rants about the coaching change, internal failures, and even takes shots at Oregon and other programs. Kraft's NSFW comments on where things went wrong – including failing to land top targets like BYU's Kalani Sitake – have gone viral, leading to his public apology and fan backlash. Then, we pivot to safety King Mack's eye-opening remarks, blaming the 6-6 season on "lack of leadership, selfishness, and buy-in" from players. Mack praises Campbell for "knowing what went wrong" and fixing it, revealing internal tensions under Kraft. Our hosts debate the fallout: Is this a wake-up call for accountability, or does it expose deeper program issues? Big news for one of PSU's stars – running back Nicholas Singleton has accepted an invitation to the 2026 Senior Bowl! As the fifth Nittany Lion to commit (joining standouts like Kaytron Allen, Drew Shelton, and Zane Durant), this is a huge showcase for Singleton to boost his NFL draft stock after a solid senior year. The quarterback room is in flux, and freshman Ethan Grunkemeyer is at the center of it. With 1,079 passing yards, 6 TDs, and 4 INTs in limited 2025 action, the former top-100 recruit (No. 5 QB in his class) is weighing his options amid the coaching transition. We explore his uncertain future – stay and compete under Campbell, or hit the transfer portal for a "best situation" in 2026? Grunkemeyer remains focused on the Pinstripe Bowl vs. Clemson, but rumors swirl about a potential reset in the QB room. Our hosts analyze his strengths (arm talent, mobility from Lewis Center, OH), areas for growth, and recruiting expert takes on whether PSU should rebuild around him or look elsewhere. Includes stats breakdowns and comparisons to past PSU QBs. We tackle your questions from the mailbag – Can Campbell salvage the recruiting classes? What's the real story behind Kraft's rant? Plus, our "Buy or Sell" segment on Grunkemeyer's stay-or-go odds and Singleton's draft projection.

Welcome back to Hardcore Penn State Football, your ultimate source for in-depth analysis, insider scoops, and passionate discussions on all things Nittany Lions! In this blockbuster episode, hosts Shawn Kane & Cory Lestochi dive headfirst into the seismic shifts rocking Happy Valley as we transition into a new chapter of Penn State football. With the 2025 season wrapping up and massive changes on the horizon, we're breaking down the hiring of Matt Campbell, staff overhauls, key retentions, aggressive recruiting moves, and the ironic Pinstripe Bowl matchup against Clemson. Whether you're a die-hard alum or a casual fan, this episode is packed with insights, hot takes, and what it all means for PSU's future in the Big Ten and beyond. We kick things off with the bombshell news that's sent shockwaves through college football – Penn State's bold move to bring in Matt Campbell from Iowa State as the new head coach. After a tumultuous end to the James Franklin era, Campbell's proven track record of building gritty, resilient programs (hello, Cyclones upsets!) makes him the perfect fit for PSU's blue-collar ethos. We discuss his coaching philosophy, why he left Ames, his contract details (rumored 8-year deal with heavy incentives), and how his emphasis on player development and innovative schemes could elevate the Nittany Lions back to national contention. Is this the hire that finally delivers a playoff breakthrough? Our hosts debate the pros, cons, and fan reactions from social media. No head coach succeeds alone, and Campbell is wasting no time assembling his dream team. We break down the early hires and pursuits for assistant coaches and support staff, including defensive coordinator candidates. Highlights include rumors of poaching key Iowa State assistants, targeting well-known people personnel for recruiting roles, and bolstering the strength and conditioning program. Plus, we speculate on budget implications and how this staff could mesh with existing talent. In a massive win for continuity, Penn State retains cornerbacks coach and recruiting guru Terry Smith! Smith's loyalty amid the coaching change is a game-changer. We explore why he chose to stay (hint: deep ties to the program and Campbell's vision), his impact on developing elite secondaries (think Joey Porter Jr.), and how his recruiting prowess in the PA region will be crucial moving forward. With Campbell at the helm, Penn State's recruiting machine is revving up. We detail the early targets in the 2026 and 2027 classes, focusing on blue-chip prospects from Pennsylvania, Ohio, and the Midwest – including top-ranked QBs, edge rushers, and offensive linemen who've already received offers. Our hosts discuss Campbell's "must-fit" pitch and how it differentiates from the previous regime. Then, we shift to the Transfer Portal frenzy: Who's on the radar? How do they fit within Campbell's system? We also touch on de-commitments from the Franklin era and how PSU plans to flip them back. Wrapping up the 2025 season with a bang – Penn State takes on Clemson in the iconic Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium! Multiple Penn State stars have already opted out: DT Zane Durant, S Zakee Wheatley, and RB Nick Singleton. How will Matt Campbell handle the bowl practices? OC Andy Kotelnicki plans to call plays for the game, and DBs coach, Anthony Pointdexter will replace former DC Jim Knowles (who left for Tennessee).

This week's episode is loaded with drama, debates, and deep-dive reactions from a massive weekend across college football. We start with rapid-fire recaps from around the country — including Alabama vs. Georgia, Texas Tech vs. BYU, Duke vs. Virginia, and Ohio State vs. Indiana — plus Nick breaks out his three favorite OSU FG's of all time. Then we turn to the College Football Playoff rankings and the controversies they created. Did Notre Dame deserve a spot? Should Alabama have snuck in? And with two Group of 5 teams making the field, is this the new normal or a one-year fluke? We also react to the chaos in South Bend after the Notre Dame athletic director blasted the ACC and the Irish announced they're skipping their bowl game. Smart move or a terrible message? Next, we go bowl shopping. Outside the CFP, there are some legitimately great matchups on the slate — including Michigan vs. Texas in the Citrus Bowl, Iowa vs. Vanderbilt in the ReliaQuest Bowl, Boise State vs. Washington in the LA Bowl, Penn State vs. Clemson in the Pinstripe Bowl, Georgia Tech vs. BYU in the Pop-Tarts Bowl, and a sneaky-good Arizona vs. SMU showdown in the Holiday Bowl. Finally, we close with Rick Neuheisel's bold prediction that bowl games will eventually become the first games of the season. Is he out of his mind… or ahead of the curve? It's playoff takes, bowl mania, and wall-to-wall college football — let's go.
Host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette/Daily Collegian Nittany Lions insider Isaiah Maldonado to react to Penn State's decision to keep interim coach Terry Smith on new head coach Matt Campbell's coaching staff following the latter's hiring over the weekend. This show is presented by FanDuel. Was keeping Smith the right call? Both in terms of healing wounds from James Franklin's firing with players? And with fans who've wanted to see Joe Paterno's legacy further centered in the program? Or could the move set the stage for future division inside and outside the program? Especially if and when Campbell hits a rough patch? And what should we make of Campbell's reported choice to bring Jon Heacock with him from Iowa State as defensive coordinator? Presumably displacing Jim Knowles and his expensive contract? Our duo tackles those questions, then ponders the matchup with Clemson in the Pinstripe Bowl and the possible opt-outs of prominent names including Zane Durant, Dani Dennis-Sutton, Kaytron Allen and Nick Singleton.

All right, college sports fans -- Clemson vs. Penn State is set as the Pinstripe Bowl matchup, and our first preview of the game in NYC is here!
The Athletic predicts that Pitt and Penn State could me in the Pinstripe Bowl.
This week on the Five Heart Podcast, it's time to get back in the saddle and preview some Nebraska football. The 3-1 Huskers host the 3-1 Michigan State Spartans for the fourth straight home game (fifth if you include Husker Nation's takeover of Arrowhead Stadium). Nebraska is coming off a 30-27 loss to Michigan. Sparty also won their first three games just to lose their conference opener. The Spartans have two wins over lesser competition (Western Michigan and Youngstown State) as well as a two-point win over the ACC's Boston College. Yes, the same Boston College that Nebraska beat in the Pinstripe Bowl at the end of 2024. Every indication is that the Huskers will not see a defensive front like Michigan's, probably for the rest of the season. So heading into this weekend, are you optimistic? What's your mindset? Where are your five hearts? We'll peel back the bandages and prepared to hope again.

We ask what we do now that the CWS is over, Matt detests scooters, Connor gets reacquainted with his daughter, the foul ball into booth, Matt gets confused, more stories from the College World Series, and Nebraska's Pinstripe Bowl rings.
-The weekend had tons of Husker news that we'll get to throughout the show, but this news captivated the fanbase as the unit that needed the most work will now have a new coordinator next year-A name that will surely be brought up by Husker fans is our very own Bill Busch—for good reason---as well as Tennessee STs coach Mike Ekeler, who worked for Nebraska in the Bo Pelini era-How soon do we expect a decision to be made?

The final Sunday Side Session of 2024 comes to a close with 1620 morning show host Matt McMaster joining and providing his thoughts on the game, the season and what's ahead for Nebraska football. Things start on defense and the two discuss how things look for John Butler moving forward, the performances of some of the younger players in the Pinstripe Bowl and what concerns exist moving forward. Then the two dive deep into Nebraska's offensive picture, each agrees there's a lot to like with the pass catchers and Emmett Johnson has solidified himself, but there's still some question about what the offensive line might look like and, of course, what kind of step forward Dylan Raiola makes. Finally the two finish up discussing or ranting about Nebraska's special teams. How is it addressed and does Matt Rhule have a plan to avoid another abysmal year in the third phase?

On this edition of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast, Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka delve into the action-packed first round of the college football playoffs. While the initial four games didn't quite deliver the edge-of-your-seat drama fans might have hoped for, they still offered plenty of excitement. The games highlighted the unique energy that comes with home-field advantage, which created electric atmospheres in every matchup. This, in turn, made a compelling case for playoff expansion, raising questions about how the format could evolve to include even more teams and intensify the competition in future seasons. The conversation then shifts focus to Nebraska's upcoming bowl game as the Huskers gear up for the Pinstripe Bowl against Boston College. Travis and Dr. Rob dive deep into the matchup, analyzing how the Huskers stack up against BC. They examine Nebraska's strengths and weaknesses, the challenges posed by Boston College, and the potential strategies the Huskers might employ to secure a victory. With new defensive assistant coaches on staff, the discussion also explores how these recent additions will adapt and integrate their strategies with the players in such a short time frame. Will these coaches be able to make an immediate impact, or will the limited preparation time be a hurdle Nebraska can't overcome? Shifting gears, Travis and Dr. Rob turn their attention to an ongoing legal battle that could significantly impact junior college athletes and their eligibility in NCAA sports. A case in Tennessee has resulted in a temporary injunction that challenges existing rules and could pave the way for junior college transfers to have up to four full years of playing time when they join a four-year institution. This development exposes yet another area where the NCAA has fallen short in addressing critical eligibility issues. The duo discusses the potential ripple effects of this ruling, including how it might reshape the landscape of college sports, especially for programs that rely heavily on junior college transfers.
