Episode Details

Penn State's committed players in the class of 2023 took the field last weekend. Blue White Illustrated's recruiting insider Ryan Snyder was at several games this weekend and recaps what he saw from several players, including four-star defensive end Jameial Lyons. He and host Greg Pickel discuss the essential players from the past weekend and how they performed. 

First, the show starts off with a loss for Penn State in recruiting. Four-star linebacker Kaveion Keys committed to North Carolina on Monday. How firm is that commitment? Snyder gives what he knows about keys and how the Tarheels might not be the last stop for Keys on this journey. 

Next, they break down the players that stood out for Penn State in the first week of the high school season. Snyder attended Roman Catholic's game against Wilson and gave his thoughts about four-star receiver Tyseer Denmark, a high-profile 2024 prospect, and Lyons, a four-star defensive end commit for Penn State this cycle. 

He explains how much Lyons was asked to do during the game for Roman and then highlights his key plays. Next, they discuss other commits, including J'Ven Williams, quarterback Jaxon Smolik, and 2024 commit Cooper Cousins. 

Pickel follows up with Snyder about two players he highlights to learn a bit more in Conrad Hussey and King Mack. The St. Thomas Aquinas teammates are high-profile targets for several other programs down south, so does Snyder think they'll stay committed to Penn State? He explains his thoughts on the matter. 

Lastly, they look ahead to Thursday night's game against Purdue to get Snyder's thoughts on what he thinks will happen.
