Penn State recruiting doesn’t have much momentum, but that doesn’t mean they’re stagnant. The BWI Daily Recruiting show is back and better than ever to cover the Nittany Lions’ efforts to secure the next generation of athletes. Recruiting veteran Sean Fitz joins Blue White Illustrated insider Ryan Snyder to discuss the latest news. Subscribe so you don’t miss Fitz and Snyder!
Zion Tracy joins class of 2023
They start the show discussing Penn State’s newest commit, three-star cornerback Zion Tracy. The St. Thomas More post-graduate player committed to the Nittany Lions over the weekend in a quiet move that many casual recruiting fans may not have noticed. Fitz and Snyder detail the rise of Tracy from a likable regional player into a prospect that Penn State had to take seriously. They explain how he ended up in the class of 2023 and what pivotal moment changed him into a pursuable prospect for the Nittany Lions.
Next, they dip into the main event heading into last weekend, the Ohio visitor list. It was one of the most jam-packed lists for a home opener in recent memory, so Snyder and Fitz run down the important names in attendance, including some top-5 players nationally.
Penn State gets new RPM pick
From there, they discuss Snyder’s recent RPM pick for Maryland native and top-150 edge defender Dominic Nichols. So is the 6-5 Oakdale edge defender going to commit to Penn State soon? Snyder explains why he made a prediction for Nichols and how strongly he feels about it.
Another important event this weekend was the duel between Iowa State commit JJ Kohl, and Penn State commit Jaxon Smolik in Iowa. Snyder attended the game and brought back footage and impressions of the future Nittany Lion quarterback. How did Smolik perform? Snyder explains how the defense he faced made it tough to come away with any hard information.
Finally, the two leaders in Penn State recruiting intel give their thoughts about the class of 2023. Fitz comments on how one decommitment this summer stung more than the rest, and Snyder reviews the positions where Penn State is still fishing for players. Then, they leave the show discussing wide receivers.
