The team hosted elite players last weekend at critical positions like defensive end, defensive tackle and offensive tackle. This week, they'll bring in a five-star player, top targets at tight end, and several sleeper targets to round out the group. Join the BWI Live Recruiting show as reporter Ryan Snyder discusses those topics, plus he takes your questions on the show! We're live at 10 a.m. on YouTube. If you can't catch the show live and be part of the chat, check us out on replay either on the channel, here in this article, or anywhere you get your podcasts. Penn State recruiting news and previewsOf course, it's not all about official visits. Penn State will continue its search for the next wave of prospects on Friday with a team camp, hosting seven-on-seven teams from across the region. Snyder will give you a quick preview of what to expect. Next, we'll return to cornerback Amauri Polydor's commitment to the Penn State last weekend. Snyder spoke with On3 National recruiting director Charles Power about the three-star cornerback. 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. What did Grayson Mckeogh have to say about his time with the Nittany Lions? Snyder spoke with the LaSalle offensive tackle. He also spoke with potential five-star defensive Luke Wafle's father about the visit his son took last weekend. We'll review the highlights of those conversations. Official visit preview Finally, we'll spend the second half of the show discussing the players visiting campus this weekend. From five-star offensive lineman Immanuel Iheanacho to commits Ben Eziuka and Terry Wiggins, Snyder will discuss the stories and importance of the players visiting this weekend. Can Penn State swing for the fences with the elite lineman visiting, such as Texas native Drew Evers? We'll also track the story of fast-rising offensive tackle Charlie Thom. 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. We'll discuss the tackle situation with Snyder to understand how Thom fits into the picture with so many elite prospects considering joining position coach Phil Trautwein's room. Join us at 10 a.m. to get your weekly dose of Penn State recruiting info!#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

Probable five-star defensive end Luke Wafle announced his top four schools and released his official visit schedule for the upcoming months. 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.

Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3KzEcqKCheck out the site too! - https://bit.ly/3u8dilDThe Penn State Nittany Lions Football team picked up a commitment yesterday as part of the Class of 2026, days before the first full official visit weekend of the summer. 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! The best way to know when we go live is to subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable notifications. That way, you'll receive an update when we go live or post breaking news. Does Penn State look like other championship teams at this point in the season? We've seen plenty of ways that other programs have won a national championship in college football. 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?

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

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

We'll discuss. Recruiting News and Visitor previewLast weekend's primetime kickoff was a major opportunity for the Nittany Lions to attract top recruiting talent to Happy Valley for the win over Illinois. Recruiting experts Ryan Snyder and Sean Fitz spent the last week contacting recruits and getting a sense for how the experience went for them. We'll discuss the most important players they've talked to and the most interesting conversations. However, the next list is always the most important one. Snyder and Fitz are working hard to end the week confirming players who will attend the upcoming game. Which names stand out from that list? They'll discuss the most interesting players joining team for the showdown with UCLA. Game PreviewFinally, we'll preview the team's matchup with UCLA. What do we think are the major factors that will determine the outcome? The Bruins travel to the East Coast as a nearly 30-point underdog. It doesn't seem that Penn State is in danger of an upset, but how what do we want to see from the team? What do you want to see from your Nittany Lions?

How Not only do we give you the latest recruiting news, but we also discuss the injury to star safety KJ Winston, and preview this weekend's game against Kent State. Get ready for over an hour of wide-ranging Penn State Football talk from Blue White Illustrated's leading experts, Sean Fitz and Ryan Snyder. You can watch the full show embedded in this article, listen on your favorite podcast platform, or on the Blue White Illustrated YouTube Channel. We also have an exclusive episode of Inside The Den discussing Winston's injury and the team's situation at quarterback in the 2025 recruiting class. Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated right now to listen or watch on the site. Penn State suffers big blow with loss of KJ WinstonWe start the show by discussing Penn State's injury situation and Winston's loss. How will Penn State adjust its personnel and scheme? We discuss how fellow safety Jaylen Reed's role changes and how the team may need to move linebacker Tony Rojas around to fit Abdul Carter into the scheme. We also discuss which games Penn State will most feel Winston's absence. Penn State recruiting news It was a busy several days for the Penn State recruiting department and not all of the news was positive. Three-star safety commit Antonio Branch has a visit set for Colorado this weekend to see the Buffaloes. How concerning is the situation? We also reveal if it's an official visit during the show. But on the flip side, Penn State offered Pittsburgh Central Catholic linebacker Bradley Gompers this week. We discuss why the Nittany Lions offered him so late and what the offer means at this stage of the 2025 recruiting calendar. The staff didn't stop offering 2025 late risers at Gompers. They also extended an offer to Ohio athlete Chaz Coleman out of Warren G. Harding high school. We look at his film on the show and discuss what sort of athlete he is and Penn State's chances to land him.  Finally, we discuss Fitz's article from this week about the Penn State commits that have stood out in September. You can check out the full article on the site, but we highlight LaVar Arrington II and Daryus Dixson during the conversation. Game PreviewFinally, we discuss the team's upcoming game against Kent State.

There's no better place to follow recruiting than BWI!Penn State plan for bye week changing with new rulesNormally, bye weeks during the college football season are prime recruiting weekends for the Penn State staff. However, new rules this season changed the typical plan for the Nittany Lions. Snyder discusses how that, plus the additional bye week, makes things very different for the staff than in previous years. However, he outlines the general plan and number of coaches that will be on the road today. Look out for an article from Snyder about the specifics later on Thursday. Team making impressive strides in wide receiver recruitingThe next section of the show is dedicated to the player feedback that Snyder received from his inquiries into the Bowling Green visitors. While there were more than we discuss on the show, we dive deeper into the conversations he had with 2027 targets Myles McAfee and Matt Gregory. McAfree is quickly ascending to the top of the names to know in recruiting for the Nittany Lions, and Gregory is an electric track athlete who recently received a scholarship offer from the staff. We discuss their comments about the game and the program before broadening the conversation to receiver recruiting. Penn State wide receivers coach Marques Hagans was under pressure after a lackluster June recruiting surge. Yet since then, the team has put together an impressive run of commitments in 2026 and even made up ground that they lost in June with the commitment of Matthew Outten to begin September. We discuss the dynamics of that turnaround. Commit performance and game preview Finally, we review the Penn State commits and targets you need to know from the last seven days of high school football. Snyder put together a list of recruits who had standout games from last weekend and the upcoming games that feature recruits you need to follow. We discuss both lists to end the show. #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_confirmationGet the 2024 Penn State Football Preview Magazine at https://bit.ly/PSU24PreviewBookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters:  https://bluewhiteonline.com Download our podcasts: https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/LRL3155877513?selected=DSVV2664982394Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3Sound effects obtained from https://www.zapsplat.com

On today's BWI Live Recruiting Show, insider Ryan Snyder discusses the loss of Cyrus and four-star Texas receiver Taz Williams. We'll also review the team's situation coming out of the official visit and commitment portion of the recruiting calendar and discuss the team's one-last gasp to get a receiver recruit this summer. Finally, we'll review the class as a whole and get Snyder's thoughts on the group. Join the BWI Live Recruiting Show today at 10 a.m. on YouTube to be part of the show.

Penn State receiver recruiting continues to lag Despite heading into the official visit season with a long list of high-quality options, Penn State managed to recruit only one wide receiver for the Class of 2025 during June. Here's the full list of Penn State official visitors and where they committed this summer. Corey Simms - USC Lex Cyrus - SCAR Quincy Porter - OSU Matthew Outten - VT Jeff Exinor - PSU Phillip Bell - Uncommitted Lyrick Samuel - PSU Taz Williams Jr. - Baylor Samari Reed - Ole Miss Koby Howard - Uncommitted Naeshaun Montgomery - Uncommitted We'll ask Snyder what he makes of that list and if he expected the Nittany Lions to be in this position in the back half of July. We'll also specifically touch on the decisions made by Cyrus and Williams in the last week. One last chance to fix it? While the recruiting drama is never over, college football has one last weekend of recruiting before the team shifts its focus to the 2024 season. The annual Lasch Bash BBQ is next weekend and the team hosts camps during that final weekend. Can Penn State find a quality wide receive to add to the class like they did quarterback Jaxon Smolik in 2023? Snyder will discuss how the Lions will approach the upcoming weekend. Also, Penn State likes to have drama free recruiting classes that don't have surprises at the end. Can they maintain a drama-free 2025? Or will drastic measures need to happen to ensure the team secures enough talent for the cycle? Commitments and reviews Finally, we'll discuss the team's recruiting win from last week. Three-star defensive tackle Randy Adirika joined the program, making him the first interior defensive lineman in the group. What kind of player is he? Snyder will share what he knows about the Florida defensive lineman. Lastly, we'll review the committed players in the class and discuss what sort of group Penn State has assembled this year.

Penn State official visit weekend recap Before we get into the good news from last week, we'll first start with the news coming out of the official visit weekend. How did Penn State do with the players that didn't commit? The team had several wide receivers on campus this past weekend, further pressing on the commitment pressure fans feel with only one player in the class. Who came to campus? We'll discuss how all of that worked out this past weekend. The team also hosted four-star edge rusher and Ohio State commit Zahir Mathis for an official visit. What was the impression and where does Mathis fit into the picture after three edge defender commitments this week?

Penn State recruiting explosion Penn State secured seven players in the Class of 2025 in just over a week, bringing the total to 19.

Recruiting losses and upcoming decisions However it wasn't all good news for Penn State.
