Power Ranking the Penn State offense

Over the past week, we've been laying out the case for each position individually, starting with the wide receivers and working up to the team's top group. Check out each article on the site for a full breakdown, including a deep-dive on how Penn State can unlock the best of quarterback Drew Allar this fall. We'll recount the major reasons why each position landed in the spot they did on today's show.

Big Ten Media Days
Pickel will join the show around 10:30 to give a report to fans about what he's seen and heard so far at Big Ten Media Days. Penn State Athletic Director Pat Kraft spoke for nearly 30 minutes on Tuesday evening to discuss the major topics facing the Nittany Lions and college sports. Pickel will give his thoughts on the most interesting comments from Kraft and what they mean. Then, we'll preview the upcoming media schedule for the Nittany Lions in Indy.

It's been just a week since Penn State football missed out on four-star in-state wide receiver Lex Cyus. On today's BWI Live Recruiting Show, insider Ryan Snyder discusses the loss of Cyrus and four-star Texas receiver Taz Williams. We'll also review the team's situation coming out of the official visit and commitment portion of the recruiting calendar and discuss the team's one-last gasp to get a receiver recruit this summer. Finally, we'll review the class as a whole and get Snyder's thoughts on the group.

Join the BWI Live Recruiting Show today at 10 a.m. on YouTube to be part of the show. We'll take fan questions and discuss what's on your mind in Penn State recruiting.

Penn State receiver recruiting continues to lag

Despite heading into the official visit season with a long list of high-quality options, Penn State managed to recruit only one wide receiver for the Class of 2025 during June. Here's the full list of Penn State official visitors and where they committed this summer.
Corey Simms - USC
Lex Cyrus - SCAR
Quincy Porter - OSU
Matthew Outten - VT
Jeff Exinor - PSU
Phillip Bell - Uncommitted
Lyrick Samuel - PSU
Taz Williams Jr. - Baylor
Samari Reed - Ole Miss
Koby Howard - Uncommitted
Naeshaun Montgomery - Uncommitted
We'll ask Snyder what he makes of that list and if he expected the Nittany Lions to be in this position in the back half of July. We'll also specifically touch on the decisions made by Cyrus and Williams in the last week.

One last chance to fix it?

While the recruiting drama is never over, college football has one last weekend of recruiting before the team shifts its focus to the 2024 season. The annual Lasch Bash BBQ is next weekend and the team hosts camps during that final weekend. Can Penn State find a quality wide receive to add to the class like they did quarterback Jaxon Smolik in 2023? Snyder will discuss how the Lions will approach the upcoming weekend.

Also, Penn State likes to have drama free recruiting classes that don't have surprises at the end. Can they maintain a drama-free 2025? Or will drastic measures need to happen to ensure the team secures enough talent for the cycle?

Commitments and reviews

Finally, we'll discuss the team's recruiting win from last week. Three-star defensive tackle Randy Adirika joined the program, making him the first interior defensive lineman in the group. What kind of player is he? Snyder will share what he knows about the Florida defensive lineman.

Lastly, we'll review the committed players in the class and discuss what sort of group Penn State has assembled this year.

BWI Mailbag quick-hitter

Before we get into the main focus of the show, we take a moment to answer a mailbag question from the Tuesday live show that didn't make it on air. Lions Den member Davidwg wants to know the following:

"If Penn State has two WRs play to the level that Parker Washington did, is that enough for the offense to be able to compete for a big ten title?"

We'll discuss what it means to be on Parker Washington's level as a receiver, the implications of how that would work in the offense, and if Penn State could get to a Big Ten Title with that level of talent.

Five burning Penn State Football training camp questions

As you might expect with me, the questions we're discussing today aren't the headliner topics that have domianted the Penn State news cycle for the offseason. We're digging a bit deeper to find five important questions that need answers for the team this fall.

5) How will the receiver position shake out positionally?

Fans have focued on the who of the receiver position, but today we'll take a look at the how behind their fit. A football team is like a complex puzzle with pieces that need to fit together in order to get a winning picture. We'll dive into the details of this group and see if Penn State receiver coach Marques Hagans and offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki can make something better from the sum of the parts.

4) Which sub-package rises to the top?

While the top line starters are still a question, there are interesting battles down the depth chart that also will play out next month. While we're not previewing individuals, we are looking at the inter-positional matchups that will decide the flavor of Penn State's scheme under Kotelnicki in the first month of the season.

3) Left Tackle Depth

There aren't many questions about who will start at tackle, with veteran Drew Shelton at the top of the depth chart. But is there depth behind him? Who are the players that can present a viable presence on the roster?

2) What does Penn State's third-down package look like?

Count this on the list of "good" problems to have for the Penn State defense. When the team hits third and long, which players will earn a spot on the defense? From getting after the quarterback to playing in coverage, there are multiple options for defensive coordinator Tom Allen.

1) Will the plan pay off?

The top question is also the most broad. Penn State head coach James Franklin made a bold strategy choice when installing the team's new offense, defense, and special teams. We'll review that decision and why it matters now.
