Penn State may be in the midst of a dead period, but it’s been anything but dead over the last couple of weeks for the Nittany Lions on the recruiting trail.

As we detailed last week, Penn State added 2022 offensive lineman Vega Ioane on National Signing Day, as well as 2024 prospect Cooper Cousins a few days prior.

Now, Penn State added two more coveted offensive linemen, the first of which was from 2023 On300 prospect Jven Williams from Wyomissing, Pa. His commitment came this past Saturday, Feb. 5. The nation’s 87th-ranked prospect according to the On3 Consensus, Williams is also the top-ranked player in Pennsylvania for the upcoming class.

Penn State head coach James Franklin and offensive line coach Phil Trautwein then added arguably their most important offensive line commitment yet in Cornell graduate transfer Hunter Nourzad.

This past season, Nourzad earned second-team All-America honors by the American Football Coaches Association at the Football Championship Subdivision. He was also named the Ivy League Offensive Lineman of the Year.

On today’s Blue White Illustrated recruiting podcast, host Greg Pickel and recruiting analyst Ryan Snyder get into both of these additions. They discuss what they mean for Penn State moving forward, as well as what they potentially bring to the team.

The pair also take a look at two new RPM predictions that Snyder logged on Saturday in linebacker prospects Ta’Mere Robinson, from Pittsburgh, and Tony Rojas, from Fairfax, Va. Ryan gives his reasoning for picking both players when he did. He also gives his thoughts on when a potential decision could come from each.

They finish out the podcast discussing what else Penn State fans could look for over the coming weeks. The dead period runs throughout February and ends March 1.
