BWI Live: Can Penn State NAIL the Dismount on Official Visit Season?
The Penn State football recruiting season is about to close this weekend. But before that, the Nittany Lions host one more official visit group. Will head coach James Franklin and his recruiting staff go out with a bang? We’re discussing that, plus reviewing the work they put in last weekend on the BWI Live Recruiting Show.
Join industry insiders Sean Fitz and Ryan Snyder as we break down the recent commitments and breaking news to come and preview the final weekend of prospects on today’s show. Join us live at 10 a.m. on YouTube, or catch the replay on the site.
A closer look at Jahmir Joseph
We’ve covered four-star commit Jahmir Joseph on the BWI YouTube channel already, but since then, our staff has taken a closer look at his skills and film. We’ll start the show breaking that down and discussing what we’ve seen from the top corner on Penn State’s board. We’ll also catch up on what intel Snyder has gained from speaking to recruits and staff this past week.
Penn State land Antonio Branch
Last night, Penn State football landed four-star safety Antonio Branch out of Florida. The 6-2 safety prospect chose Penn State over Louisville and other southern schools to give the team a solid addition at safety. What led to his commitment to Penn State? We’ll discuss how Anthony Poindexter landed the position of project player and how his recruiting ranking may not accurately reflect his position and potential at Penn State.
