BWI Live: A Penn State football podcast from Blue White Illustrated

Host Thomas Frank Carr has taken you through the Penn State training camp on the Daily Edition and now he gives you his assessment of the roster by position.

He starts with the quarterback position and tries to paint a picture of what starting quarterback Sean Clifford can be in 2021 by looking at what he has been the in the past. Then he gives you how confident he is that that can become a reality.

Next he examines the skill positions starting the with deep and talented tailback group. Can they break out and lead the team? Is there a star in the group? All of that is involved in his confidence in the position.

The exact opposite is true of the receiver position, with top-heavy talents but questions marks at every other part of the depth chart. Can Jahan Dotson and Parker Washington carry the team? The tight ends are a talented group, but can they match that potential?

Once again, the offensive line is talented, but the tackle position does carry some question marks outside of left tackle Rasheed Walker. The interior is the biggest mystery on the entire team.

Next he switches to the defense and looks at the defensive end position and how it might be the shakiest part of the entire team. The defensive tackles next to them are next. How do those two units work together?

The linebackers are next and potential breakout players are backed up by huge questions marks. The secondary rounds out the day starting at corner and heading to safety before T-Frank gets to the most underrated position on the team, slot defender.

The BWI Daily continues its look at positional battles throughout Penn State's roster with the defensive end position.

Host Thomas Frank Carr and Greg Pickel take you through what was said and observed through the first two weeks of practice at Penn State's fall training camp.

First, they discuss projected starting defensive end Nick Tarburton's journey to where he is today, which includes a position switch and multiple injuries. They also tell you why they think he's the lead candidate to start opposite of Arnold Ebiketie on the Penn State defensive line.

Next, they discuss why we've heard so much about Smith Vilbert this spring and summer. Is he really becoming the player his recruiting profile said he could be? 

They continue down the depth chart of the Penn State defensive end position to discuss the biggest enigma of the defense, Jesse Luketa. Is he a linebacker or a defensive end? Which should he be? T-Frank and Greg give their thoughts.

Finally, Greg gives his final impressions on what is left to learn through training camp at some key positions.

Host Thomas Frank Carr and recruiting analyst Ryan Snyder talk about five Class of 2023 recruits that you should be following in the months ahead. These players aren't ranked, nor are they the most-likely players to sign with Penn State in the next class, but they are critical pieces to the puzzle for next cycle.

T-Frank and Ryan start with Lamont Payne, a four-star defensive back out of the Pittsburgh area and how he fits not only into the 2022 class, but also into 2023.

From there they head back into PA to check out a two-sport standout in Rodney Gallagher, a receiver and basketball prospect from Uniontown, PA. T-Frank gives a quick overview of his first impression of Gallagher on highlight tape as well.

Next they discuss a hotly contested prospect in four-star linebacker Josiah Trotter and how his brother Jeremiah's recruiting plays into the process this year. Both are the son of former Eagles linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Sr.

After that T-Frank and Ryan discuss Luke Montgomery, another high profile Ohio native who plays for Finlay High School in Ohio.

Finally they wrap up with track star, and four-star athlete Nyckoles Harbor out of Washington, DC. T-Frank and Ryan discuss why Harbor is being called 'a diamond' in the 2023 class.

Host Thomas Frank Carr reviews some key stats for Penn State's skill players heading into training camp this weekend. The episode includes:

-A look at Penn State's dropped passes over the past three seasons and how they've improved over time. They then discuss if this is an area that will continue to improve or if the Nittany Lion's are due for a regression.

- Next they look at the ability of the offense to create separation, or lack of it, among it's pass-catchers. They do this by examining the contested catch numbers of the team from 2020 and how the quarterback, play caller and receivers all are apart of that formula.

-Next they move on the the running game and ask the question, "Can you have Noah Cain and Keyvone Lee as your top two tailbacks?"

-Finally they examine new Offensive Coordinator Mike Yurcich's influence on the offense and why T-Frank and Dave are both high on his abilities to get more out of the skill positions in 2021.
