Good news for Penn State’s 2027 recruiting
While he won’t be here for the official weekend, Rivals national reporter Steve Wiltfong wrote on Tuesday that star offensive lineman Maxwell Hiller planned to visit Penn State this week. We’ll discuss the significance of that news and the additional information that Hiller planned to visit Ohio State for the final recruiting weekend of the month.
We’ll also start the show with the best news about the updated Class of 2026 rankings from Rivals this week before getting to the rest of the info later in the show. Which players made a significant jump in the standings? Ryan Snyder and Sean Fitz will discuss.
Junior Day visitors this week
Next, we’ll discuss the players Snyder and Fitz know will be on campus this weekend. The team hosted just two junior days because of the transfer portal window at the beginning of the month. Now, they are making every effort to bring in key players on campus before the dead period begins in February. We’ll discuss which players are coming and which ones Penn State fans should know about.
From there, we’ll return to the players who came to campus this past weekend and the conversations that Snyder had with players about their experience with the new Penn State staff. Which player reactions stood out the most to Snyder? We’ll ask him!
On300 and coaches on the road
We’re in the final days of the contact period, and coaches have been out on the road visiting key prospects across the country. Where has the staff been in the last week? We’ll discuss the players and schools that stand out on the staff's cross-country trips.
Lastly, we’ll finish the show by discussing the On300 rankings for the Class of 2026. It’s the final update as Penn State signs its recruiting class next Wednesday. We’ll discuss where Penn State’s hastily assembled group stands in the final rankings and where players moved in the lineup to end the cycle.
