BWI Live Recruiting Show: A big year for Pennsylvania in recruiting? | Penn State validated in On300 Update
The Penn State Football recruiting class of 2025 got a significant boost this week with the release of the updated On300 rankings. The team jumped to 11th in the national rankings after several committed players took a big step forward in the rankings. We’ll discuss that and which targets will visit Happy Valley in the next four months during the spring and summer periods.
Recruiting insider Ryan Snyder sits down to talk for an hour on the BWI Live Recruiting Show today. Be sure to check it out starting at 10 a.m. on YouTube. This week’s major discussion topic is Pennsylvania quarterback Matt Zollers’ meteoric rise in the recruiting rankings. We discuss that news, plus Zollers’ timeline for commitment.

Zollers makes big announcement, Penn State official visits lining up
It wasn’t just the players in Penn State’s current committed class that got a big bump in the latest update from the On3 national scouting team. The team’s top targets in the region also made significant gains in the rankings. However, the most notable was four-star quarterback Matt Zollers, who climbed all the way to 17th overall. Snyder will discuss his conversation with Charles Power, head of On3 scouting.
Here’s a clip from that conversation.
“I think when you look at the quarterback class, Matt Zollers is a really impressive prospect in a vacuum, but when you look at the quarterback position as a group, which is really how we start our process, ranking within each position group first, I think he stacks up really well within the quarterback group nationally,” said On3 Scouting Director Charles Power.

But the good news kept flowing for Penn State. The team has one of four official visits set for top 100 linebacker Ty Jackson this summer. The Florida native has Penn State on a short list of top schools heading into the spring. We’ll discuss how the Lions stack up to the competition in his list of schools. The conversation continues with other official and spring visits Snyder thinks are important.
