    Penn State hosts important prospects during the first week of spring recruiting


    Last week, we previewed several of the notable names that planned to visit Penn State during the first weekend of spring recruiting. Recruiting experts Sean Fitz and Ryan Snyder discuss the feedback they've gotten from recruits who made the trip.


    Can Penn State keep the run of elite safeties going with JaDon Blair? Does the team have a shot with rising defensive line star Darren Ikannagbon? We'll discuss those names and more, including Ohio running back Bo Jackson. Can Penn State land a third runner in the class of 2025?


    Matt Zollers visit looming at the end of the month


    More players will visit this weekend, and the following week. But by far, the biggest confirmed visit is from Zollers, who is coming to Happy Valley at the end of the month. Snyder has the four-star passer's spring visits scheduled for the coming month and discusses it on today's show. Does Penn State stand a fighting chance against Missouri, Pitt, and Georgia? We'll discuss the timing and order of his visits.


    Also, On3 released its initial rankings for the Class of 2026. How many Penn State targets and commits made the list of 300? We'll discuss the regional strength and fit for Penn State in the upcoming cycle.

  • BWI Live: Penn State's new defense explained through James Franklin's comments about one key player

    The Penn State Nittany Lions football team will have a new defense this year under defensive coordiantor Tom Allen. It's a new system featuring new potential combinations.


    Or is it?


    Today on the BWI Live Show, we discuss how James Franklin's comments about Jaylen Reed last week unlocked our understanding of the plan for the 2024 defense. We'll take you through the history of Penn State's usage of a 4-2 defense and what potential combinations the team could have on the field this upcoming season.


    Penn State's new/old plan on defense


    Playing a defensive back as a third linebacker is nothing new in college football, whether it's called the Lion, Star, Predator, or any other name. In fact, former Penn State defensive coordinator Manny Diaz had the same plan for the Nittany Lion's defense when he first arrived in 2022. Like Diaz, Allen will play a third safety more often than they have in the last year and a half, according to Franklin's comments, to start spring football.


    "We have a number of guys that we feel really good about at the safety position. When you take [KJ] Winston and Jaylen Reed, those two guys have played a ton of football for us. They're both experienced guys, are both playmakers, are both big and strong enough to be physical aspects in the run game," Franklin said.


    Both players fit the bill to play a quasi-linebacker role, but Franklin cleared up who will play the Lion this year when talking about the team's third safety, Zakee Wheatley.


    "Zakee Wheatley is a guy that we're expecting to take a big step. He's had by far his best offseason. Not even close. That also allows us to maybe use Reed in the nickel position that we're going to call the lion position."


    What that tells us about the rest of the defense


    From there, we can extrapolate where the rest of the safeties will line up and what this defensive formation will look like. We can also assume that if Franklin is talking about using it more, other defensive combinations will take a step back. However, the team still needs to have those packages figured out for when they're needed during the season. We review the team's base (4-3) defense and the nickel and dime options at cornerback for the upcoming spring football season.


    Finally we turn the focus to the offense and consider the team's options on offense.

    Recruiting visitor list: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/news/penn-state-locks-in-visits-with-multiple-2025-2026-recruiting-prospects/



    The Penn State Nittany Lions recruiting efforts kicked back into high gear this week with the start of spring football. The team has already hosted a top quarterback prospect, and will host numerous top 100 players over the next several days. The recruiting experts from Blue White Illustrated are back to discuss all of that, and more on today's BWI Live Recruiting Show.


    Sean Fitz and Ryan Snyder break down the team's most interesting recruiting visits this week. Join the recruiting show every Thursday at 10 a.m. on YouTube to be the first to find out the latest recruiting news. If you can't make the live show, check out the replay on the BWI YouTube Channel or here on the site.


    Penn State hosts one of its top quarterback prospects


    The week started out strong, with four-star quarterback Maik Washington visiting the program on Tuesday. Washington is one of the top quarterback prospects Penn State is courting this cycle so getting him on campus early is a win. Fitz and Snyder update fans on the competition for Penn State's open quarterback spot between Washington and borderline five-star passer Matt Zollers. Snyder explains how the timeline for the two quarterbacks ultimately affect the decision if there is one for Penn State.



    The tight end board is an equally promising section of Penn State's recruiting efforts in 2023. Four-start tight end Andrew Olesh visits the program Thursday, but the team has several other top prospects interested in the program. Can the Lions land another elite tight end? We discuss the potential for the team to add to its stacked roster.


    Penn State cornerback board and recruiting visitors


    Fitz broke down Penn State's cornerback board last week in an in-depth article focusing on the major players at the position. On today's show he talks about the players that stand out at the position, including McDonogh's Brandon Finney and UK transplant Onis Konanbanny. Beyond the individual names, what's the overall feeling of Penn State's position? He discusses that on the show. We also highlight current commit Xxavier Thomas and how he fits into the positional outlook.


    Finally, Fitz and Snyder discuss the interesting and important names visiting the program during the first week of spring practice. Does Penn State have a chance with Ohio running back Bo Jackson? Top 15 player Kaliq Lockett visits on Thursday and is a national talent at receiver. Our experts discuss Penn State's position with these top prospects and more.

    Offensive preview: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/news/three-penn-state-players-or-positions-that-will-benefit-the-most-from-andy-kotelnickis-offense/


    The Penn State football team opens up spring practice this week with the first of 15 practices on Tuesday evening. To preview the spring period, we’re discussing what fans should expect from both sides of the ball on today’s BWI Live Show. We’ll go over several players who should benefit from offensive coordiantor Andy Kotelnicki’s scheme and how the offense will feel different this upcoming season. We’ll finish the show by discussing the camp battles that will determine the personality of the Penn State defense.


    Join the show today at 10 a.m. on YouTube, and don’t forget to subscribe to the Blue White Illustrated YouTube Channel. We’ll have post-practice highlight videos and James Franklin’s weekly comments. Podcast and YouTube listeners can also sign up for the site with an added bonus.

    Penn State offensive vibe shift under Andy Kotelnicki

    We start today’s show by discussing the Penn State offense. We’ve discussed several of the different ways that Kotelnicki will bring a new dynamic to the Lion’s offense this upcoming season, but today, we’re highlighting the players who stand to benefit the most from his system. If you missed it, we’re discussing the article from earlier this week that outlined three positions or players that will see additional support. We highlight one particular position on the show.


    The bottom line is that Kotelnicki was excellent at manufacturing explosive plays from slot targets. When Kansas’ quarterbacks targeted players who lined up in the slot, the team averaged an explosive play on 24% of those snaps. Even from a non-rate perspective, Kansas produced 26 explosive passing plays compared to Penn State’s 15. They did that on 16 fewer passing attempts just to drive the point home.


    Check out the full article here. But beyond the players that the system helps, we discuss the style of offense that Kotelnicki has developed. We describe the “vibes” of the offense and what we expect for this upcoming season.


    Penn State defensive battle


    Lastly, we cover the team’s defensive shift under new Penn State defensive coordinator Tom Allen. Today’s show details the spring camp battles determining the defense’s personality. The position battles in camp aren’t just about which players win battles locally but how that player stacks up to other positions on the roster. We preview the larger battle for the final starting spot and which players will represent their position for the right to play in the base defense.

    Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3KzEcqK

    Welcome to Big Ten tournament weekend, Penn State wrestling fans. The No. 1 Nittany Lions look to win another conference crown this weekend in College Park, Md. It would mark their second consecutive one after ending a drought that dated back to 2019 in 2023. Head coach Cael Sanderson’s side has multiple top seeds and 10 entrants set to compete at the event.


    “I think everyone’s looking good,” Sanderson said back on Monday. “You know, we just have a couple more days of hard training, and then it’s just getting ready to compete and just go do what we do.


    “I don’t think anybody’s peaked yet. I think everybody has their eyes set on the bigger events at the end. But yeah, there’s some different things, everyone’s different. Obviously, different levels of experience. And then weight management is different. So that obviously factors into the training of each individual. I think our our guys are excited and at peace and ready to roll.”


    It goes without saying that all on hand are aiming to qualify for nationals. But, while that is the focus, there’s no question that the top topic of conversation throughout the tournament will be the health and ongoing status of Penn State 174-pound three-time NCAA champion Carter Starocci. He was hurt at the end of his about against Edinboro two Sundays ago. But, Sanderson seemed optimistic when meeting with reporters earlier this week.


    “We trust our trainer, Dan Monthley, and our doctors and as we’ve said, Carter’s a competitor and he’ll be good to go,” Sanderson said. “I think he’s doing good.


    “The first day was tough for him because we didn’t really know where he was and he was in a lot of pain. Usually, that’s a good thing. If you know knees and injuries and stuff, if there’s no pain that’s usually more of a concern because that means something’s no longer there. He’s doing good.”


    A new episode of the Blue-White Illustrated wrestling podcast starts with the latest on Starocci. From there, host Thomas Frank Carr and reporter Greg Pickel offer a weight-by-weight breakdown of the tournament in addition to making predictions for how each Nittany Lion will fare.


    Watch the show in the embedded video player above. Want to listen to it? Podcast links: SPOTIFY, APPLE.


    Blue-White Illustrated will have complete coverage of the Penn State wrestling postseason push. The team will try to qualify all 10 starters for nationals at Big Tens. Then, it will take its contingent to Kansas City, Mo., for nationals March 21-23. Bracket information will be announced by the NCAA for that tournament on Wed., March 13.

    Penn State football opens up spring practice next week, and today, on the BWI Live Show, we’re discussing five burning questions we have for spring ball. Join the show at 10 a.m. on YouTube as we go through the top things that Penn State football needs to find out about itself during the 15 practices in March and April. If you can’t make it to the live show, catch us on replay on the Blue White Illustrated YouTube Channel, or in the video player embedded in this article.

    How quickly will Abdul Carter take to defensive end?


    We start the show discussing Penn State star defender Abdul Carter’s move to defensive end. The discussion centers around how quickly Carter can take to the position, not the chances of success. We discuss what factors will play into that transition on the show. Here’s an excerpt from the article outlining our five questions.


    How will he take to defensive line coach Deion Barnes’ teaching as a pass rusher? Carter has the physical skills and instincts to be an elite pass rusher. But learning the nuances of the position still takes time. That training has likely already started.

    Penn State defense under Tom Allen and the wide receiver room

    Some of the other questions we discussed on the show deal with the new Penn State defensive scheme under new coordinator Tom Allen. We’ve discussed his tendencies and preferences at Indiana this offseason, but today, we reverse the question. How will Allen adapt to the talent at Penn State? Will he change aspects of his scheme, personnel deployment or alignments with more talented and well-rounded players?


    Finally, we discuss the top question for the spring. What will the Penn State receiver room do over the next two months? While we center the conversation around the top receiver and if the team can find a leader, the conversation goes deeper than that. What are the combinations of players that make sense? Who will fight for a spot in the two-deep, and will any of the team's young receivers step up to challenge the veterans? Join the show to hear what we think heading into the start of camp.
