Bo Bassett is back on the market — and now Penn State is in the driver’s seat.

Penn State football just suffered a recruiting gut punch — losing four top 2026 prospects, including Joey O’Brien, Khary Adams, Luke Wafle, and Grayson McKeogh. Three went to Notre Dame. One went to USC. So… what happened?

Penn State has landed a high-upside 4-star linebacker in Elijah Littlejohn — but what kind of player are the Nittany Lions really getting? On today’s Locked On Nittany Lions, Zach Seyko breaks down Littlejohn’s pass-rushing prowess, where he fits in Jim Knowles’ system, and how he compares to other 2026 linebacker commits.
