Now that the 2022 regular season has ended, the transfer portal is already filling up with names and players looking to find a new home next year. Today on the BWI Daily Edition: Recruiting insiders, Ryan Snyder and Sean Fitz discuss the names you need to know. Subscribe to the BWI Daily Edition on YouTube, so you don’t miss the show!

Penn State could be perfect fit for portal receiver

While the constant stream of names heading into the portal can be overwhelming at times, some stick out more than others. To start the show, Snyder and Fitz discuss Oregon wide receiver, Dont’e Thornton. Not only is receiver a position of need, but Thornton has a long and clear history with the Nittany Lions. So will Penn State go after him? The duo discusses that and recaps his history with the coaching staff for unaware people. 

Next, they list the team’s positions to address this offseason, including the receiver. While running back and receiver are known, they list one other position that you may not think about as a top portal need. 

After finishing up their view of the transfer portal, they shift to looking at the weekend in Penn State recruiting. It was a better list than Snyder anticipated and included a pivotal visit from four-star receiver Rodney Gallagher. So how did things go with the long-time in-state target? Snyder and Fitz recap the situation with Gallagher and his commitment to West Virginia.
