Dramatic Shift as Matt Campbell SHATTERS James Franklin’s Old Recruiting Boundaries at Penn State
Penn State still has zero commits in the class of 2027, but is that actually a problem? Zach Seyko and recruiting expert Brian Smith break down why Matt Campbell’s recruiting strategy is still trending in the right direction and why commitments could start arriving once spring visits begin. They also dive into the recruitment of top-10 quarterback Peter Bourque, who is deciding between Penn State, Virginia Tech, and Georgia. Finally, the discussion turns to a new NIL tax law in Mississippi that could give SEC programs a major recruiting advantage and spark similar legislation across college football.
