It’s an incredibly busy end to Penn State’s Spring football calendar. 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 recap

Of 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 conversations

The 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.
