Episode Details

This weekend, Penn State football hosts several key recruits from both the portal and the following several recruiting classes. Recruiting insider Ryan Snyder joins the BWI Daily edition to discuss the critical names and positions Penn State is hosting over the next few hours.

Host Thomas Frank Carr starts the show by addressing Penn State's immediate need, edge rusher. The team hosts former Maryland edge rusher Demeioun Robinson on Friday as they continue to seek help at that position in the portal. But, is he the answer that they seek? Yes, according to T-Frank.

He explains what skills the former top 100 recruit has and why he might be the best option left after Penn State missed out on their top targets earlier this year. He and Snyder also discuss Akheem Mesidor and how he would fit at Penn State. Head coach James Franklin outlined that Penn State is very interested in a portal edge so landing one will be critical. However, according to both Snyder and T-Frank, something might get in the way of the Nittany Lions landing either prospect.

Next, Snyder runs down the list of players visiting this weekend in recruiting. Players he mentions include unranked defensive end Mason Robinson from McDonough, and several other important players in the 2023 cycle, including quarterback Marcus Stokes. The Nittany Lions are also hosting another edge rusher, this one from outside of the region in Durham native Jaybron Harvey.

Despite having four players on the offensive line locked up for the Class of 2023, Penn State continues to host offensive linemen. Georgia native Paul Mubenga visits this weekend. What position does he play? T-Frank and Snyder discuss if the 6-4 lineman can play tackle or guard.

Finally, they wrap up with players that Snyder spoke to this week after previously visiting Penn State. First, they highlight the interior offensive line prospect for 2024, Kyle Altuner, a standout at the Under Armour camp in Baltimore last month. T-Frank and Snyder discuss his potential position, their thoughts on his performance from their in-person experience, and what Altuner had to say about Penn State.

Finally, they discuss ascending quarterback prospect for 2024, Davi Belfort.
