Today the show tackles the commitment of Jon Mitchell, plus the relationship with Florida teammates Antoine Belgrave-Shorter and Penn State. They’ll also let you know which prospect didn’t make it to campus this weekend and what names you need to know from the weekend.
Penn State gets a pleasant surprise with Mitchell
As Blue White Illustrated covered this weekend, Penn State got a welcome surprise when four-star corner and top 100 player, Mitchell, committed to the program Saturday morning. Snyder caught up with Mitchell’s trainer and learned how the commitment went down and how Mitchell felt about the program.
Next, they’ll discuss how teammate and friend, Belgrave-Shorter, feels about the program. The 6-0 175-pound cornerback prospect is a fast-rising player in 2024 and should be a hot commodity in Florida.
It wasn’t all good for Penn State this weekend, though. One critical recruit didn’t make it to campus on Saturday, which Snyder and Fitz outlined as an important visit on Friday. Beyond that, the weekend featured committed players and regional prospects.
