BWI Live: Decision day for top quarterback Matt Zollers, Penn State
One of the biggest days this spring for the Penn State football recruiting class of 2025 is here. Four-star and top-three quarterback Matt Zollers will make his college decision on Thursday. The Pennsylvania native is choosing between the in-state Nittany Lions, Georiga, Missouri, and Pitt. Blue White Illustrated’s recruiting experts, Sean Fitz and Ryan Snyder sit down on today’s BWI Live Recruiting Show to discuss what might happen at 3 pm when Zollers announces his decision.

Penn State’s final push for Zollers- Was it enough?
Penn State made their final in-person pitch to Zollers last Friday, hoping to convince the four-star quarterback to join the class and stay in-state. We’ll discuss how that trip went, our insiders’ feedback, and what they think will happen when Zollers makes his announcement. We’ll discuss the potentiality, impact of a commitment, and fallout of missing out on a top-50 player.
But it’s not just Zollers who made a decision this week. More recruiting news is bubbling with another high-value regional target this week. Four-star defensive tackle Trent Wilson narrowed his list of school down to four contenders this week. Snyder doesn’t think the new bodes well for Penn State. We’ll ask him why and what he thinks will happen with another top prospect on the Nittany Lions board this summer.

Are official visits no longer an indication of interest?
We’ll also dedicate a show segment to an interesting question from a Blue White Illustrated message board member. The question was originally for the Mailbag show on Wednesday but was too good of a conversation to leave out of today’s recruiting show. Now that official visits are an unlimited resource, do they still matter the same way? Are they an indicator of true interest or can players schedule a plethora of visits just to see different schools?
Upcoming visits
Finally, we’ll end the segment by discussing the upcoming Happy Valley visitors during the penultimate spring football weekend. Our experts will explain why tackle Nolan Davenport, running back Marcello Vitti, linebacker Justin Hill, wide receiver Jacob Washington, and tight end Mack Sutter are interesting players to consider.
