Terry Smith kicks of Penn State recruiting Run Of course, it would be Smith who kicked off Penn State’s recruiting in 2027. The team’s former interim head coach kept his own momentum going as a recruiter, signing three cornerbacks to the roster for this coming recruiting cycle this week. We’ve discussed each of the commits on their own, but today, we’ll discuss Semajay Robinson, Zachary Gleason, and Ka’ron Cesaser as a group. Is there more in store for Smith? We’ll discuss whether or not he’s done adding players to the upcoming class. Next, we’ll pivot into discussing a high-profile player who is on campus today. Five-star quarterback Will Mencl is visiting the Penn State program and is one of the team’s top targets for this cycle. We’ll discuss the team’s chances of landing the Arizona native and how the team got him to Pennsylvania in the first place. Other visits in the last week Next, we’ll discuss the other relevant visitors Penn State has hosted in the last week of camp. We’ll run down the names for 2027 and 2028 that stand out to recruiting reporters Ryan Snyder and Sean Fitz. Which players should fans keep an eye on going forward, and which players does the team have a shot at getting back for another visit? We’ll disuss. Upcoming visits and RPM picks Of course, Penn State isn’t close to done for the upcoming cycle. Fitz has a pick in for yet another Pittsburgh prospect. Finally, we’ll finish the show by discussing the players visiting over the weekend as the team gears up for another practice on Saturday. Join the show live at 2 pm to discuss all of that and more!

Penn State gets more unfortunate news We’ll start with the update that dropped yesterday afternoon about another Penn State veteran missing spring football. Donkoh will be out for the spring, following tight end Andrew Rappleyea, who posted a post-surgery photo at the end of February. We’ll discuss the situation, the impact, and what to expect from the team’s spring football situation, with so many injured players that the team will realistically consider starters in the fall. Recruiting Update Next, we’ll discuss the latest recruiting news, now that the calendar has flipped to March. While spring practice hasn’t started yet, teams can still host prospects for visits now. We’ll discuss the players you need to know both before camp and after spring break, which is next week.

Tieu has been a Midwest reporter for decades and has extensive knowledge of the former Iowa State staff that now occupies the Lasch Building at Penn State. He and reporter Sean Fitz discuss Campbell’s approach, the strengths of the staff, the team’s ace recruiters, and where the group will need to bridge the gap between what they did in Ames, and the new pressure they face in Happy Valley. He’ll also discuss the blended approach of where Penn State’s targets will come from in this first cycle and how much time fans should give the staff before making decisions about how the staff is recruiting with their in-region recruits.

In today’s show, we break down the 2026 Big Ten Wrestling Championships preseeds and what they mean for Penn State.

We go weight-by-weight through the bracket and discuss the biggest storylines heading into the conference tournament, including whether all 10 Penn State wrestlers can secure automatic NCAA bids. We also give our predictions for which Nittany Lions will win Big Ten titles, the toughest paths in the bracket, and the weight class that could produce the biggest surprise. Topics include: • Six Penn State wrestlers receiving No. 1 preseeds • The toughest road to the podium for the Nittany Lions • The auto-bid outlook for all 10 starters • Why Braeden Davis faces the most difficult qualification path • Title predictions for Luke Lilledahl, Marcus Blaze, Mitchell Mesenbrink, Levi Haines, Rocco Welsh, and Josh Barr • The biggest threats across the Big Ten brackets The Big Ten Championships begin Saturday with the first round, quarterfinals, and semifinals, followed by the medal matches on Sunday at the Bryce Jordan Center.

The Penn State Nittany Lions football team starts spring football in just about three weeks so we’re getting fans ready with our spring preview of each position. So far, we’ve covered the running backs, defensive tackles, and pass catchers in the lead-up to the first spring football under new head coach Matt Campbell. Today, we’ll be taking on the most important position on the team: quarterback. Also, there’s a concern among Penn State football fans that the team lacks elite playmakers, especially on defense. We’ll discuss which players are the likeliest candidates to step up and fill that void. Join the show today at 10 a.m. on YouTube. If you haven’t yet, subscribe to the Blue White Illustrated YouTube Channel right now and enable notifications. That way, you’ll receive alerts when we go live or post content on the channel.

Penn State Spring Preview: QB We continue our spring preview series today by discussing the team’s quarterback position. We’ll discuss the impact of starter Rocco Becht’s injury timeline returning from surgery and how that is both a positive and a negative for the team this spring. How can he lead and bring the team together from the sidelines? How will his return partway through spring football affect the dynamics for the team? From there, we’ll discuss the team backup, Alex Manske. What does he need to work on during his second season in Taylor Mouser’s offense? We’ll discuss where his progression can come and how the extra reps can help him progress as a thrower. Finally, we’ll look at the young quarterbacks in the room between freshmen Kase Evans and Peyton Falzone. We’ll disuss each player's profile from their high school film and see what kind of quarterback they are and how they fit into the templates we’ve seen from Campbell and his staff. Potential defensive stars Even on a defense that doesn’t have future first-round NFL Draft picks, each scheme picks a player to feature. Opportunity to make plays comes from the decisions of who the defensive coordinator puts in position to make said plays. On today’s show, we’ll preview the potential defensive stars for the team this upcoming year. Many fans are concerned about the lack of raw high-end talent, so we’ll pinpoint three candidates who can make plays and elevate their profiles among the fan base through their output. Of course, we also want to hear from you! Join the show live at 10 a.m. on YouTube, ask your questions in the live chat, and we’ll answer them throughout the show! 00:00 Show intro 02:54 NFL Mock Draft preview 05:42 Spring Preview: QBs 09:30 Rocco Becht breakdown 15:15 Rocco Becht film breakdown 22:22 Alex Manske preview 29:40 Kase Evans and Peyton Falzone preview 35:35 Final thoughts on QB Room 38:47 Potential defensive stars 42:24 Marcus Neal film breakdown 46:58 Tony Rojas and Caleb Bacon 49:23 Daryus Dixson and Yvan Kemajou 55:14 Best Bets Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3KzEcqK Check out the site too! - https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/ Get 20% off and free shipping at Fanatics with our affiliate link: https://fanatics.93n6tx.net/OeZg2z Use Code PSU20 to get 20 percent off Rhoback’s Gameday Collection: https://rhoback.com/collections/pennsylvania-state-university-licensed-collection Want breaking news like this delivered straight to your inbox for FREE?

BWI Mailbag: Young players stashed for later Penn State head coach Matt Campbell discusses his recruiting and team-building plans for his February conversation with the media. He discussed the team’s objective of building a foundation for now and for the future. To this point, we have focused primarily on the team’s starters coming from the transfer portal, but there is a second layer of players who will make a contribution this year and will also be part of the team’s future. We’ll highlight some of those players on today’s show, thanks to a question from one of our Lions Den Message Board members, who asked this question on the BWI Mailbag thread.

Penn State at the NFL Combine: Recap Next, we’ll recap Penn State players' performances from the NFL Combine last week. On-field workouts ramped up on Thursday and concluded on Sunday with the offensive line. We’ll discuss who stood out, who made their mark, and which players didn’t do much either way to help or hurt themselves. Of course, the biggest name to make his debut after an injury that ended his season in October was Penn State quarterback Drew Allar. The former starter threw at the Combine on Saturday and got positive reviews, which have catapulted him into the online discourse and debate over the last 48 hours. We’ll discuss what’s true and what’s hype around his draft stock. Getting to know Penn State’s new Linebackers and the battle at center Finally, we’ll recap our work from last week, including our conversations with new and returning players from last week. Sean Fitz spoke with returner Dom Rulli about his quest to become the starting center at Penn State and his decision to stay despite the team adding a center in Brock Riker. We’ll also discuss the Iowa State linebackers and how their scheme in 2025 may have masked some hidden talents thanks to its unique style.

Penn State receiver room is snakebitThe breaking news this morning is that just after being introduced to the Penn State media on Wednesday, wide receivers coach Noah Pauley is leaving the program to become the receivers coach of the Green Bay Packers. Pauley developed a reputation at North Dakota State and at Iowa State as a developer of game-breaking receivers and will now head off to coach one of his former pupils, Christian Watson, with the Packers. The move leaves a huge void at a critical position, which new Penn State head coach Matt Campbell will have to scramble to fill. We’ll discuss the impact and what comes next for the team, which hasn’t had positive wide receiver news in about five years. Class of 2027 updates and a commitment Not all of the news this week is bad. The team picked up a commitment from a 2028 cornerback from McDowell High School, Deonte Flemings. We’ll discuss the impact of picking up a player two years out, his potential and what else we know about the newest Nittany Lion. From there, we’ll pivot to discuss the other recruiting news on today’s show, including a top Penn State target decommitting from a rival school, more predictions for Penn State to land a top linebacker, and where Penn State goes from here for running back in 2027. Between the LinesFrom there, we’ll transition into discussing the things we saw and heard from the Penn State staff on Wednesday. We’ll discuss three key points from Campbell about his staff and roster-building on both sides of the football. Next, we’ll discuss what we heard from coordinators Taylor Mouser and D’Anton Lynn during the breakout media sessions. Finally, we’ll discuss which other coordinators we found interesting and intriguing, including GM Derek Hoodjer, who spoke to the media alongside the positional staff during the event.

We get our first introduction to Matt Campbell’s staff this week, with the team hosting a National Signing Day press conference with the full staff in attendance on Wednesday of this week. It will also be our first chance to meet with Campbell since his introductory press conference in early December. On today’s BWI Live Show, we’re previewing what we expect from tomorrow’s press conference, discussing what we want to learn, and recapping the last two months since Campbell took over. We’ll also discuss the latest recruiting news, including the unfortunate update for Penn State that five-star running back Kemon Spell committed to Georgia this week. Join us today, live at 10 a.m. on YouTube to discuss those comments and more! We’ll take your questions and thoughts live on air during the hour-long show to get the pulse of Penn State fans.

That way, you’ll receive alerts when we post breaking news, commitments, and more. Penn State misses out on Spell, preview of tomorrow’s event The stated reason for Wednesday’s press conference is that tomorrow is National Signing Day for college football. With that in mind, we’ll start today’s show with the news that Penn State lost out on a top regional prospect for the Class of 2027. Spell, an elite recruit and one-time commit to Penn State, committed to Georgia on Monday afternoon. Recruiting reporter Sean Fitz will discuss the twists and turns in Spell’s recruitment that had Penn State in the lead, before quickly fading to the Bulldogs. Next, we’ll preview what we expect to learn from tomorrow’s press conference. Despite it’s stated reason, we expect to discuss recruiting very little. Tomorrow will be the first time that the media will meet Campbell’s fully assembled staff. We’ll also get our first extended sitdown with Campbell since his introductory press conference. We’ll discuss the things we expect to learn, what we want to learn and what storylines we expect to come from the event.Two-month superlativesIn the last two months, Campbell had to assemble his staff, learn the old Penn State roster, build a retention plan for the players he wanted to keep, execute that plan, recruit his old players from Iowa State, and find key players in the wider transfer portal, all while trying to recruit for 2026 and 2027. With February here, it’s the first dead period in recruiting and the first, presumably, normal schedule after Campbell had to speed-run building Penn State in his image over the last two months. In that light, we’ll do a check-in at this turning point by giving out some superlatives. We’ll track the best, worst, and most underrated moves of the last two months. We’ll examine the roster Campbell built at Penn State, and hash out what we think were the biggest risks and smartest moves. Want to get in on the action? Join us live at 10 to be part of the show!

The 6-foot-6, 210-pound defensive end took an official visit to Iowa State just two days prior.“He’s got a unique trait, size, 6’8 wingspan, a guy that’s got great size, great ability,” said Campbell during Iowa State’s signing day event. “We brought him in this weekend when we got back from Oklahoma State. He’s got a great mom, great family, great skill set. It’s going to be really fun to see where he’s got the ability to go.”By The Numbers: Sizing up Penn State football’s 2026 spring rosterDuring his senior season, Reeder totaled 50 tackles, 19 tackles for loss and eight sacks. He picked up an offer from Missouri after backing out of his commitment to Iowa State. Rutgers also showed interest, but Reeder decided to take just the one official visit to Penn State. He joins Pennsylvania native and four-star prospect Jackson Ford as the two defensive line commits in Penn State’s 2026 class.According to Rivals’ Industry Rankings, which combines Rivals, 247Sports and ESPN for a cumulative grade, Reeder is ranked No. 525 nationally, making him the highest-ranked commit among the former Iowa State signees.

Spell was originally committed to the program before decommitting during the team’s three-game losing streak in October. Now, he’s seemingly on the verge of joining the new staff in Happy Valley. So, what do our reporters think of the situation? Snyder and Sean Fitz will discuss what they know of the Spell situation and what they think the timeline for a decision may be for Spell. We’ll discuss the broader impact of getting Spell back in the fold for the team’s reputation in the region and as a staff stepping up to a higher level of competition. Junior Day visits Of course, Spell isn’t the only player visiting this weekend, and he’s not the only elite player in Pennsylvania for this cycle. We’ll discuss the other players who plan to attend Penn State’s first Junior Day. Is the team making the right moves to make up ground on their late start into the Class of 2027? We’ll discuss how the team shortened the curve by keeping Terry Smith and key staffers on the roster. Finally, we’ll discuss where the coaching staff has been over the last week since the transfer portal closed and the open period started, where coaches can go on in-home visits. #PennState #NittanyLions JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationBookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters: https://bluewhiteonline.com Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Good news for Penn State recruitingWe’ll start the show discussing the latest Penn State recruiting news.

We’ll discuss the impact of that coming true, and what Spell means to the team’s efforts to rebuild its relationships and footing in Pennsylvania early in new head coach Matt Campbell’s time as the team’s leader. Next, we’ll shift our focus to 2026. There are several way-too-early top 25 team rankings out for next year.

Will Texas State’s Brock Riker be the starting center next year? We’ll discuss. Return of LBUToday’s main topic is a look at the Penn State defense and how the team will transform under Lynn as the new DC.
