As with our Fall roster breakdowns, Chris enlists the assistance of fellow <a href="https://www.thelion.fm/">LION 90.7fm</a> alum, former FIU and Miami Hurricanes broadcaster Mike Levine, to analyze the Nittany Lions' current complement of talent as Spring football comes to a close and yet another "transfer portal window" lurches toward merciful closure. With a lengthy list of returning stars, much is certain about the title-contending squad State will field in the Fall, and yet a surprising number of questions abound. Heading into Blue-White weekend, we detail the pitched position battles and critical depth chart decisions that will shape the destiny of the 2025 Nittany Lions (in probably far greater detail than listeners of this podcast need or want). Enjoy! HOSTED BY: <a href="https://twitter.com/buchignani">Chris Buchignani </a> GUESTS: <a href="https://twitter.com/nitlion18">Mike Levine</a>
