BWI Live: Why is Penn State missing on top recruits? Our experts explain | Blue-White recruiting preview
The Penn State Nittany Lions Class of 2025 hasn’t gone to plan for the last week. The team lost key recruits from the region to top schools across the country at key positions, including quarterback and defensive tackle.
So, what’s going on with Penn State recruiting? Our industry experts at Blue White Illustrated have been following the team for nearly two decades and have seen this story before. Today on the BWI Live Recruiting Show, Sean Fitz and Ryan Snyder will discuss the bad, and the good of Penn State’s Class of 2025.
We’ll also preview the team’s upcoming chance to change the narrative, with four-star running back Alvin Henderson making his decision on Thursday.
Finally, we’ll preview the upcoming Blue-White Game recruiting list. Join the show at 10 am on YouTube or check out the video embedded in this article. It’s a good time to subscribe to the BWI YouTube Channel so you don’t miss any of our Blue-White Week content or breaking news.
Penn State recruiting misses that sting
On today’s show, we’ll discuss the team’s recruiting efforts with Matt Zollers and Trent Wilson. The possible top quarterback in the Class of 2025 chose Missouri over the Nittany Lions last week. Then, the regional prospect at wide receiver Romero Ison visited USC and committed quickly afterward. Finally, top defensive tackle prospect Trent Wilson, who was trending to Penn State, made an about-face and committed to Oklahoma after one visit.
So, what’s going on? Our experts discuss the typical ups and downs of recruiting and what’s expected at this point in the year. However, there’s a new dynamic in recruiting now, which they’ll discuss with several of Penn State’s misses.
However, it’s not all bad news. Synder and Fitz will discuss the remaining players that Penn State can still sign this year. The team has several four-star targets that they can add over May, June and early July to form a respectable class. We’ll discuss some of those names and players today.
Will the team get a third running back?
In fact, one of those players makes his decision on Thursday. Four-star Alabama running back Alvin Henderson will choose between Auburn and Penn State today. Where does the team stand? Join the show to find out.
Blue-White Game preview
Finally, the team hosts the annual Blue-White game this weekend, which is typically a great showcase game for the team’s recruiting efforts. Is Penn State in line to get any commits this weekend? Who is coming to the game? Check out Ryan Snyder’s breakdown from earlier this week that we’ll discuss on today’s show.
