    Penn State Recruiting is on a HOT STREAK and Why It Isn't Done Yet

    Penn State spring football is in full bloom, and thanks to that, recruiting is heating up. Today on the BWI Live Recruiting Show, we’ll discuss the team’s recent surge of commitments led by cornerbacks coach Terry Smith. We’ll also discuss a five-star visit on campus today, and which players stand out in the last week who’ve visited the Nittany Lions. Finally, we’ll look ahead to the weekend for some impressive and important recruits making their way to Happy Valley.  Join us as we discuss those topics and more, live at 2 pm on YouTube! Drop your thoughts and comments in the Live Chat throughout the hour-long show, and we’ll answer them while on air! Be sure to subscribe to the Blue White Illustrated YouTube Channel so you don’t miss any commitment videos, breaking news and more! Terry Smith kicks of Penn State recruiting Run Of course, it would be Smith who kicked off Penn State’s recruiting in 2027. The team’s former interim head coach kept his own momentum going as a recruiter, signing three cornerbacks to the roster for this coming recruiting cycle this week. We’ve discussed each of the commits on their own, but today, we’ll discuss Semajay Robinson, Zachary Gleason, and Ka’ron Cesaser as a group.  Is there more in store for Smith? We’ll discuss whether or not he’s done adding players to the upcoming class.  Next, we’ll pivot into discussing a high-profile player who is on campus today. Five-star quarterback Will Mencl is visiting the Penn State program and is one of the team’s top targets for this cycle. We’ll discuss the team’s chances of landing the Arizona native and how the team got him to Pennsylvania in the first place.   Other visits in the last week Next, we’ll discuss the other relevant visitors Penn State has hosted in the last week of camp. We’ll run down the names for 2027 and 2028 that stand out to recruiting reporters Ryan Snyder and Sean Fitz. Which players should fans keep an eye on going forward, and which players does the team have a shot at getting back for another visit? We’ll disuss.  Upcoming visits and RPM picks Of course, Penn State isn’t close to done for the upcoming cycle. Fitz has a pick in for yet another Pittsburgh prospect. Finally, we’ll finish the show by discussing the players visiting over the weekend as the team gears up for another practice on Saturday.  Join the show live at 2 pm to discuss all of that and more!
