BWI Mailbag: Young players stashed for later

Penn State head coach Matt Campbell discusses his recruiting and team-building plans for his February conversation with the media. He discussed the team’s objective of building a foundation for now and for the future. To this point, we have focused primarily on the team’s starters coming from the transfer portal, but there is a second layer of players who will make a contribution this year and will also be part of the team’s future. We’ll highlight some of those players on today’s show, thanks to a question from one of our Lions Den Message Board members, who asked this question on the BWI Mailbag thread. 

Other topics we’ll discuss today include: 

* How the staff plans to handle reps during spring football

* When can fans expect more information about the Adidas switch?

* Mississippi removing tax on NIL funds

Penn State at the NFL Combine: Recap 

Next, we’ll recap Penn State players' performances from the NFL Combine last week. On-field workouts ramped up on Thursday and concluded on Sunday with the offensive line. We’ll discuss who stood out, who made their mark, and which players didn’t do much either way to help or hurt themselves. 

Of course, the biggest name to make his debut after an injury that ended his season in October was Penn State quarterback Drew Allar. The former starter threw at the Combine on Saturday and got positive reviews, which have catapulted him into the online discourse and debate over the last 48 hours. We’ll discuss what’s true and what’s hype around his draft stock. 

Getting to know Penn State’s new Linebackers and the battle at center

Finally, we’ll recap our work from last week, including our conversations with new and returning players from last week. Sean Fitz spoke with returner Dom Rulli about his quest to become the starting center at Penn State and his decision to stay despite the team adding a center in Brock Riker. We’ll also discuss the Iowa State linebackers and how their scheme in 2025 may have masked some hidden talents thanks to its unique style.
