Recruiting Pod: Penn State coaches hit the road, Brent Pry moves on, more
Description
Penn State's coaching staff is out on the road recruiting this week and next. Locking up the majority of those who have already committed remains their key focus, but with coaching changes happening across the country, that could have an impact on any potential additions down the stretch.
Of course, the Nittany Lions already lost a key member of their staff, too. On Tuesday it was announced that defensive coordinator Brent Pry would become the new head coach at Virginia Tech, which means Franklin has to replace a very important member of his staff now.
On Tuesday's episode of the Blue White Illustrated recruiting podcast, Greg Pickel and Ryan Snyder get into the impact of Pry leaving and what it may mean moving forward. Pry has already made two hires for his staff at Tech, which could provide some insight on who he'll target, if anyone, from Penn State's staff.
Penn State also lost a member of its 2022 class on Tuesday in offensive lineman Spencer Rolland. Ryan and Greg discuss the impact of that decision and how his scholarship could potentially be used elsewhere. With 25 high school players still committed, potential outgoings from Penn State's roster will have a big impact.
They wrap up the show then with some of the more interesting visits that Penn State has done over the past couple of days. DT Zane Durant was one of the first visits they took after the contact period began on Sunday. They get into the implications of that, plus some notable players that Mike Yurcich is planning to see.
