Penn State lifting session update

We’ll start today’s show by discussing what we observed from the players during the final phase of summer conditioning under Losey and his staff. The offensive line, defensive line, and linebackers worked out in a group on Monday, and we’ll discuss who stood out from the group.

Next, we’ll discuss what Losey and sports performance expert Andrew Nelson had to say about the team’s preparations for fall camp. Losey told reporters what he’s seen from transfers Trebor Pena and Amare Campbell, as well as his insights into the May freshmen. We’ll cover all of that on today’s show.

Fitz’s Recruiting Update

The new Rivals 300 dropped for the Class of 2026 this week. Recruiting reporter Sean Fitz will discuss what he thinks of the latest updates and which Penn State players made moves on the list. We’ll also discuss the newest offer for Penn State that went out this weekend.

Penn State Fall Camp Preview

Finally, we’ll preview the upcoming season’s camp battles to end the show. Losey discussed his goal of making the team “bulletproof” from a physical standpoint to get through the grind of fall training camp and emphasized its importance.

There are nearly a dozen important battles taking place across the Penn State roster this summer, and we’ll preview four to start our three-week look at the roster’s biggest positional showdowns, starting on July 30.
