Penn State has secured several key recruiting victories along the offensive line in the past two weeks. First, offensive line coach Phil Trautwein secured a late commitment for the Class of 2022 in Washington native Vega Ioane. Then, he followed that up by winning one of the most critical transfer portal battles of the offseason, bringing Cornell offensive lineman Hunter Nourzad to Happy Valley over Iowa and Illinois. Those acquisitions bring much more clarity to our earlier look at the offensive line and possible combinations heading into spring ball. Today examine four possible lineups that could see the field in 2022. Right now, there is only one realistic scenario, but we’ll play around with the parts and pieces to see what else Penn State could produce with its front five.
