While there are still loose ends in the Class of 2026, the team will focus heavily on 2027 to get a jump on the recruiting process for the next cycle. While we're in the middle of a two-month dead period, Ryan Snyder has been working ahead to secure the names of players who plan to attend Penn State in the fall. He's also been interviewing players to get to know their stories ahead of the mad dash to January. Join the BWI Live Show as we discuss those topics, plus the major news that Penn State missed out on its quarterback target of choice for 2027, Peter Bourque, this week. The BWI Live show airs at 10 a.m. on YouTube. You can join us to discuss your Penn State football recruiting thoughts and opinions by joining the live chat during the show. If you can't make the show live, you can always catch the show on replay in the channel, here in this article, or anywhere you get your podcasts. Penn State loses out in 2027 QB Dominoes Penn State Class of 2027 target Peter Bourque was a regular in Happy Valley over the last two summers. The New England native attended several camps and was clearly the team's top quarterback target for the upcoming cycle. It was a recruitment that most Penn State fans should have felt good about. Then, suddenly, Bourque committed to Michigan earlier this week. Or, at least that's how it felt. We'll discuss the situation with Snyder and what his read of Penn State's most recent QB recruiting loss means for the program. Where does the team turn next? We'll dive into the dominoes that are now falling for the top remaining targets for the next cycle. Also, after trying to recruit two quarterbacks for the last two cycles, can the team rebound and find two passers to join the ranks of the Nittany Lions signal callers? Penn State recruit and commit stories Snyder has spent the last several weeks getting in touch with recruits to get to know them and their plans for the fall better. We'll outline several of his conversations, including how the unlikely pair of PA safety Matt Seig and California QB Troy Huhn bonded in the Class of 2026. Finally, we'll preview the upcoming fall football season for the rising seniors and discuss which players Snyder thinks have the best chance of rising up the recruiting rankings to make Penn State's profile for this cycle look better than it currently is.

How has that gone so far? What is the inital feedback? Nakos will discuss how teams are experiencing the new rules. Beyond that, has it begun to make NIL more transparent and fair? What are the challenges, both legal and logistical, to the new process? Of course, all of this affects Penn State. We'll discuss how the team has suffered losses to high-paying schools with top talent over the last two recruiting cycles. Is that still a danger going forward? Nakos will discuss what he knows. We'll also discuss NIL's impact on other aspects of college football, including the transfer portal. Early look at Penn State Class of 2027 needsFinally, we'll spend the second half of the show discussing Penn State's biggest needs in the Class of 2027.

With most of the class wrapped up, it's time to look ahead to 2027. The rising juniors will be putting together the most important film of their high school careers for most of them as the majority of their offers will happen after this season. With that in mind, we're getting Penn State fans acquainted with the Pennsylvania players they need to know before that happens. Which prospects are at the top of the recruiting board? Which ones are on the rise and which ones are on the radar? Recruiting reporter Ryan Snyder will break all of that down for you today. Join the BWI Live Recruiting Show today at 10 a.m. on YouTube! If you can't make the show live, be sure to catch the replay anytime on our channel, embedded in this article, or anywhere you get your podcasts. Penn State recruiting newsDespite the dead period, there's plenty of Penn State recruiting news this week. Not all of it is good for the Lions, however. Top 2027 commit, Kemon Spell, has decided to take visits to other schools this fall. Snyder will break down what Spell told him on the matter and which schools Spell plans to visit. We'll also discuss the impact on recruiting and revisit the top reasons for hope in Spell's recruitment. Next, we'll discuss Penn State's other skill play committed for this cycle, Khalil Taylor. Taylor made the decision to switch schools weeks before the start of his junior season. Snyder will discuss what he knows of the situation and what fans should take away from this news.

Then he'll dig deeper into the region for the players that are on the bubble this year, from a quality target to a high-priority prospect. Finally, he'll review the rest of the notable players that may not be on Penn State's radar, but could find their way to the table with a strong junior season. Lastly, we'll discuss the players who have already told BWI that they plan to attend the White Out Game against Oregon at the end of September. #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/PennStateOn3Getting to know the Penn State Recruiting Targets for 2027 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

However, there are still underrated aspects of the 2025 season that we'll discuss on today's show. With camp starting this week, we'll dive into a few of those topics to begin the show. We'll also outline our broad expectations for what we think of training camp this Fall. Penn State depth chart battles: Defensive edition We focused exclusively on Penn State's receiver position on Tuesday's show. Today, we'll wrap up our look at camp battles by focusing on the defensive side of things. The Penn State nickel position has a wide-open competition for snaps beginning today. Who are the players to know, and what do they bring to the table? We'll discuss. Finally, we'll end our look at the defense with a review of the linebacker room.

He'll discuss what Oregon players think about their upcoming trip to Happy Valley for the 2025 White Out, what Drew Allar had to say in his podium appearance, how the team is the conference favorite this year, and other topics. Between the LinesNext, we'll discuss what Franklin had to say in detail in his media roundtable appearance. We'll discuss his comments about the team's special teams progress that he expects this year, how being an older team helps and his thoughts on having Media Days in Vegas instead of a centrally located place like it has been in the past. We'll get Pickel's thoughts about Franklin's tone and what might be behind the words that he spoke to reporters on Wednesday. Penn State training camp battles: The headlinersFinally, we'll conclude our look at Penn State camp battles, which start tomorrow when the team opens up camp on Wednesday.

Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3KzEcqKCheck out the site too! - https://bit.ly/3u8dilDPenn State quarterback Drew Allar is one of the most polarizing players on the team's roster. The senior quarterback is a major driving force behind the program's preseason prediction by many outlets to win the Big Ten Championship. Despite that, parts of his own fan base view him as a limiting factor because of the way he played in big games last year. So, before Penn State has its turn on the stage at the Big Ten Media Days in Indianapolis and unofficially kicks off the start of the 2025 season, we're taking one last look back at its performance against Ohio State and Oregon in 2024. Join the BWI Live Show today at 10 a.m. on YouTube to get a rare sneak peek into our premium content as we discuss a series of articles on the site from this week outlining how Allar performed based on advanced data. If you can't catch the show live, be sure to catch the replay on the channel, in this article, or wherever you get your podcasts. Trying to strip away the emotion of a Penn State loss Fans can point to any number of critical plays or turning points in the games against Ohio State and Oregon as the "reason" that Penn State lost. We can also blame the defense, receivers, or other parts of the offense beyond the quarterback. It's an impossible task, but the plan for these articles was to remove those elements and focus solely on Allar's performance in those games. We also try to establish a baseline of comparison for Allar's performance. After all, the Buckeye and Duck defenses were two of the better units in the conference last year. We'll try to establish a baseline of their performance by context and comparison to the rest of the conference, and then compare Allar's performance to how that unit forced quarterbacks to play. Play under pressure and within a pressure environment Next, we'll look at how pressure affected Allar during these two games and the playoffs overall. Pressure means more than one thing. First, we'll look at how Penn State's starting quarterback played with direct game pressure, as in when a defender was about to tackle him in the pocket. Next, we'll try to sniff out the pressure of the moment. Big games create a form of energy in their own right and can affect a player's normal performance. So, we'll look at Allar's play when in a clean pocket and compare that to season averages in both situations. Finally, we'll take that pressure data and compare Allar's playoff performance to his regular season performance.

We'll look at the three or four primary candidates to fill in behind the superstar duo and discuss what each player can bring to the table. Next, we'll look at a surprising situation brewing on the right side of the offensive line. Will offensive line coach Phil Trautwein find a way to get both right tackles Nolan Rucci and Anthony Donkoh on the field? If he does, what does that mean for the rest of the line? We'll look at the men up front to give fans some insight into the battles on the right side.

Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3KzEcqKCheck out the site too! - https://bit.ly/3u8dilDPenn State head coach James Franklin has captained one of the most consistent programs over the last decade. The team was a regular New Year's Six participant and routinely won ten games during the current stretch from 2016 to 2024. Yet Franklin's biggest critics point to his lack of production in big games and the team's lack of a title during his tenure at Penn State. So, is Franklin a top-five coach in college football? ESPN's Bill Connelly thinks so. We'll discuss his most recent article about the top historical and active coaches in college football on today's show. We'll also continue our discussion about Penn State's open lifting session with reporter Greg Pickel, and discuss the biggest What Ifs from last year. Finally, we'll dive deep into the numbers to figure out if Penn State should play more three-receiver or two-tight-end sets this year. Join the BWI Live Show today at 10 a.m. on YouTube! If you can't make the show live, you can always check it out 24/7 on the channel embedded in this article or on the site. Of course, the show is available on demand wherever you get your podcasts. Penn State head coach James Franklin in elite company ESPN's Bill Connelly put together a list of the top coaches from the last 20 years of college football. Not only is Franklin on that list for his work at Vanderbilt and Penn State, but he's high on the list. We'll discuss where Franklin ranks in the historic context that Connelly compiled using win above the historic baseline and SP+ ranking. Connelly went a step further to find the best coaches currently active in the sport. We'll show you where Franklin ranks among the best in his profession and discuss what Connelly's data indicates. The biggest What Ifs of the 2024 season and a preview of 2025Penn State's season changed on several important moments that shaped the narrative of the team's postseason run. Pickel discussed the biggest turning points and narratives from last year to reimagine what could have been for the team's title run. We'll discuss those on today's show. Finally, we'll preview the upcoming season by discussing how Penn State's offense should change this year, if at all. Offensive coordiantor Andy Kotelnicki's first year in Happy Valley was a huge success. The team was one of the most explosive offenses in college football last year, bringing a dangerous and balanced approach to the field. Still, fans will point to the team's struggles against top opponents and the inconsistencies in its passing game. How can the team tweak that this year? We examined the personnel-level information to determine where explosive plays were generated in the offense. #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/PennStateOn3ESPN Puts James Franklin in Elite Company: Does He Belong?

Join the show today at 10 a.m. on YouTube to discuss this, plus the latest roster update from the team and your questions! We'll be opening the live chat for discussion from fans throughout the show. Gang Green sets in for Penn State recruitingThree of the four players mentioned earlier all chose Notre Dame over Penn State. Meanwhile, Wafle chose USC over Ohio State in a bidding war that reportedly eclipsed 2 million dollars in NIL money. We'll address each individual recruiting situation and then consider them as part of a larger picture. Can Penn State's current model of retention withstand the new economy of recruiting? Will the program be cut off from top talent each cycle? Bauer and recruiting reporter Sean Fitz will dive deep into the topic to give Penn State fans a much-needed perspective on the topic. Penn State roster update and long-term weight changes In team-specific news, Penn State released its latest roster update, with Jabree Coleman joining the program this week. With it came updated weights for the program's athletes. We've tracked the progress of each player since January, and today, we'll reveal the biggest weight gainers and losers this offseason. What context should fans take from this? We'll discuss players who are transforming their bodies and which players may be falling behind for one reason or another. Nickel corner battle hinges on fall camp We also talked to Penn State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles this month. What did he say about his defense, and what he expects from the team this year? Bauer spoke to Knowles in an exclusive one-on-one interview recently, and he'll preview that conversation on today's show. In a separate conversation, Knowles discussed his nickel position in depth with BWI. We'll discuss the big takeaways from that conversation and what they mean for the team's defense this fall. Finally, despite the earlier recruiting focus on the show, there's more recruiting news to discuss this week. We'll wrap up the show with Fitz's recruiting update, discussing the news from this past weekend and the decisions looming on the horizon for the Penn State Class of 2026. #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/PennStateOn3Penn State Recruiting Takes a Hit + Roster Update and Weight Changes Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The bad news for the top of Penn State's 2026 prospects started Wednesday when four-star tackle Greyson McKeogh chose Notre Dame over Penn State and Texas. Shortly after, industry experts put in picks for top defensive back targets Khary Adams and Joey O'Brien to join him in South Bend. After that, reports from On3 surfaced that USC and Ohio State were in a bidding war for top defensive end Luke Wafle, who was about to command a seven-figure NIL package. Where does that leave Penn State? Snyder will do his best to give fans the intel on why things are trending away from the Nittany Lions with in-state and regional targets. We'll also discuss who is left on the board and what the program can do to make up ground. Penn State finishing June with three camps in five days Penn State hosted a smaller mid-week camp on Wednesday that BWI attended. Several top commits and prospects were also in attendance. We'll discuss what we saw from defensive line commit Isaac Chukwurah, and 2027 target Abraham Sessay. Defensive back commits Julian Peterson and Matt Sieg also attended camp, which was our first time to see them work up close. We'll discuss how they performed. Previewing Visits and Camps to close JuneFinally, we'll preview the end of the 2025 June calendar. A recruiting dead period starts next week, lasting until the start of the 2025 season. It's the final chance to get prospects on campus for official visits and to have top targets visit the program. We'll discuss the upcoming players making their way to campus for a final round of official visits, and then those players will be invited to the Lasch Bash and White Out Camp on Sunday.

The Team USA roster for the Senior World Wrestling Championships will be announced this weekend in Newark, N.J. Penn State standouts and Nittany Lion Wrestling Club members are competing at Final X. Some are vying for a backup spot on the early portion of the day-long card. Others are seeking a starting spot on the national team for this year's championships, which are set for September in Croatia.We preview Saturday's action on a fresh episode of the Blue-White Illustrated Penn State wrestling show.Host Thomas Frank Carr and reporter Greg Pickel start by taking a look at the true third place matches. Those start at 12:30 p.m. ET. Multiple wrestlers, including incoming freshman Marcus Blaze and five-time NCAA champ Carter Starocci, are competing for a backup spot on Team USA. Blaze is in the 65 kilogram (143.3 pounds) true third place match opposite Nebraska's Brock Hardy. Starocci, then, has a familiar foe in Parker Keckeisen of Northern Iowa in the 86-kilogram (189.5 pounds) true third place match. A win would mean Blaze and Starocci have national team resources for the next year. And, for Blaze in particular, it would mean the U23 Team USA spot at 65 kilograms is his to turn down.

Penn State gets even more preseason accolades There's no secret at this point that the Penn State football team is the national media darling of the 2025 offseason. Phil Steele published his top 40 teams for the upcoming season, and Steele was very high on the Nittany Lions. Find out where he ranks the program and how many All-Americans he expects the team to produce this fall. To do that, the team will need to be elite on both sides of the football. We'll put those ideas to the test in our latest edition of Buy or Sell. Today, we'll focus primarily on the defensive side of the ball. Can Penn State allow fewer rushing yards than it did last season? Will they produce more takeaways? We'll debate those ideas on today's show. Reporter Greg Pickel will give his thoughts on Steele's analysis and then give you his thoughts on those ideas. You can play along in the chat by playing Buy or Sell with us!
