Snyder will run down the recruiting news of the week, including Alabama native and Penn State safety commit Dakaari Nelson visiting Auburn for tomorrow’s game. He’ll also share his impressions on two interviews he did this week with 2025 top targets Anthony Sacca and Jeff Exinor, before wrapping up today’s recruiting info with a look at the receiver situation for 2023.

Penn State target Dakaari Nelson taking visit to Auburn

They start the show with an update on Nelson, who committed to the Nittany Lions this summer. The four-star safety has taken other unofficial visits since his commitment and will take another visit tomorrow to see the Auburn Tigers. T-Frank asks Snyder if that should worry fans, and Snyder gives his best understanding of the situation.

Next, Snyder discusses his interviews with Sacca and Exinor earlier in the week. Not only does he give his impressions of each player’s level of interest in Penn State, but he gives his thoughts on the individuals. Can Penn State land another top McDonough target? And will the legacy player take more visits to Penn State? Finally, Snyder weighs in on the way-too-early 2025 discussion.

Finally, things come closer to home in recruiting with a discussion about the receiver situation in the class of 2023. Penn State is still searching for a player to add to the class, and there’s been some movement this week in the form of new offers and potentially renewed interest. One player fans should be familiar with is four-star athlete Cam Seldon. Snyder gives T-Frank an update on the Tennessee commit.
