Penn State's Class of 2025 is one of the most interesting in recent memory. Eight of the 18 commits are either players who could outperform their current ranking, are total wildcards, or both. Normally, that list is only a handful of players, not pushing half of the committed list. This week, we're discussing those players and why they fit into those categories. We'll start with the team's wildcard commits.
