And which players stand out among the quarterbacks with scholarship offers? Check out the show for highlights from some of the top players on the board at each position. 

Penn State has a commit in the Class of 2025 at running back with Kiandrea Barker. It’s a deep list of names for the next cycle, and Penn State is well-positioned with several top prospects. Which players might join Barker as a Nittany Lion? 

The team needs to make moves at wide receiver, and Penn State’s new position coach, Marques Hagans, has a list of names for 2025 in his first class. Can the team push for top talent in this position in the future? 

Finally, the show wraps up by checking out the tight ends and offensive line. Ja’Elyne Matthews is a top commit at tackle, but can the team keep him committed?
