Penn State recruiting weekend visitors, 2023 defensive hot boards: BWI Daily
Penn State football has a busy few days of recruiting in store as the BWI Daily Edition heads into the weekend. Recruiting insider Ryan Snyder joins the show to give you the important names and then update the top targets on defense for the Nittany Lions in 2023.
Penn State makes Top 5 for key target
Before that, they start with a Class of 2023 target that announced his top 5 today. Running back prospect Treyaun Webb put Penn State in the final group of schools along with South Carolina, Tennessee, Baylor, and Florida. So, where does Penn State stand on that list? First, Snyder tells T-Frank and then discusses the other standout target that makes up Penn State’s priority players at running back. Can they take two? T-Frank doesn’t think so, which he explains later in the show.
Another critical factor for Webb is visiting Tennessee, which now has a very famous and dangerous NIL reputation. Will that sway his decision? T-Frank and Snyder discuss and then dig into the topic of NIL further. Finally, they discuss the potential ramifications of how NIL will shape the future and how it is changing things already.
Next, they break down the list of players visiting Penn State this weekend. Some of the key names are 2024 quarterback prospect Michael Van Buren, 2025 athlete Aaron White, and 2023 running back prospect from Texas, Cameron Cook. Again, check out Snyder’s article or watch the BWI Daily for the complete list.
2023 Defensive Hot Boards
After that, they discuss Snyder’s hot boards for the defensive class of 2023. T-Frank wants to start at defensive tackle because it’s a deep and talented group that includes Florida prospects Derrick LeBlanc and John Walker, IMG product Will Norman, and prize of the 2023 class DeMatha Catholic’s Jason Moore.

Snyder breaks down where Penn State stands with those players, their recent activity, and a general sense he gets from them. From there, they discuss the equally deep defensive end class. T-Frank references the running back board when looking at the breadth and depth of the defensive line class this year and calls into question the idea of taking more than one runner. He also brings up two wildcards in the group to illustrate his point.
Next, they move on to linebacker and discuss the clear top targets for the Nittany Lions, Ta’Mere Robinson, and Tony Rojas. After that, there are three clear-cut middle linebacker prospects to Snyder. How does all of that fit into Manny Diaz’s picture on defense? T-Frank and Snyder have an in-depth conversation about the group and how things can change either way for Penn State’s recruiting linebackers.
Finally, they finish the show by discussing secondary recruits. T-Frank starts at safety because it ties in with the conversation about linebacker and brings up four-star prospect Cameron Seldon. How great of a fit is he in the current Penn State defense? Snyder goes even further to underscore Seldon’s importance to the Nittany Lions. Safety is another deep group in general, but cornerback is not. See who and where the prospects for 2023 lie in that group.
