While it was quiet on a commitment from Penn State football recruiting Sunday and Monday, that doesn’t mean that their official visit weekend wasn’t a success. Recruiting insider Ryan Snyder has been hard at work digging up information on the uncommitted players that took official visits to Penn State Friday and Saturday. He joins host Greg Pickel on the BWI Daily recruiting show to share what he’s learned.

Pickel and Snyder start the show by previewing news they expect to drop Tuesday afternoon. Reports are that the four-star defensive end from Alabama, Tomarrion Parker, will commit to the Nittany Lions on Tuesday afternoon. Snyder shares what he knows about the visit, how things went, and what led to this abrupt turn in Parker’s recruitment.

Next, they discuss the committed players who also took official visits this weekend and Ryan’s conversations with them, which you can read here. After that, they shift to possibly the most critical players visiting Happy Valley; linebackers Ta’Mere Robinson and Tony Rojas. Both players set commitment dates for the first half of July, and Snyder details where Penn State stands in both recruitments.
Did they do enough to stave off Georgia for Rojas? Will Robinson’s relationship with Virginia Tech head coach Brent Pry swing his commitment away from Penn State? BWI’s insider has the scoop for you.
