actually, I think the OL players we have had come to PSU in the Franklin era may have been ranked on the average higher than what either Iowa or Wisconsin had in their classes. Rucci was a much higher ranked player than Wisconsin has traditionally gotten, and would have to be considered a major miss by PSU - how do you lose a legacy player who grew up in the center of PA? otherwise, our players have generally come in on the avg more highly ranked. I recall one of Iowa's premier OTs came there as a 2/3* TE and grew into and was developed as an OT. This could be a combination of those schools being able to recognize OL potential better than other schools, and/or just developing them better.
OFF scheme maybe is also part of this, but others may be able to comment on that.
