The Penn State Nittany Lions Football team is halfway through Spring football, meaning the recruiting staff is also halfway through its spring recruiting visits. How has the team done at getting elite talent in town to see, practice, and experience the program? We’re discussing the latest recruiting intel with Ryan Snyder and Sean Fitz on the BWI Live Recruiting Show!

Penn State practice recap and portal preview

The Penn State coaching staff must balance the information they’ve gained through three weeks of camp while keeping an eye on the transfer portal next week. What should fans expect of that situation? We’ll preview the coming weekend and the flood of names that will likely enter the portal in the next four to five days. Snyder and Fitz will give their thoughts on how the team balances finding more talent while not driving its current players to look for new opportunities.

We had our latest open practice session on Tuesday. Fitz was with the media inside Holuba Hall to view the team. He’ll give us his thoughts on what he saw.

Elite prospects check out Penn State

Snyder caught up with the father of five-star pass rusher Luke Wafle, who is one of the team’s top targets in the Class of 2026. Wafle is also the father of a current Nittany Lion, Michigan transfer Owen Wafle. What did Snyder learn from the conversation? We’ll discuss that on today’s show to kick off the review of the latest recruits who visited campus since our last show a week ago.

From there, we’ll review the important names of those who checked out practice this past weekend and on Tuesday evening. Is Penn State setting up for a strong run in the late spring and summer official visit season? We’ll get the experts’ opinions on that and more!

Upcoming visitors

Of course, there are plenty more names to know in recruiting! Penn State hosts more players at practice on Thursday night and this coming weekend. Fitz and Snyder will discuss the names we know and what they mean for the team’s efforts rounding into the final weeks of Spring football.
