Episode Details

Penn State football recruiting got another major 2027 update as the Nittany Lions landed four-star defensive end Elijah Guertin, one of their top defensive end targets in the class. Penn State beat out major competition, including Florida and Tennessee, while adding another big-bodied defensive end to D'Anton Lynn’s defensive front.

On today’s Locked On Nittany Lions, Zach Seyko breaks down what Elijah Guertin brings to Penn State, why his size and versatility matter, how he fits next to Carter Blattner, and what this says about Matt Campbell’s recruiting. The show also dives into the latest Jamir Dean flip buzz, Georgia’s push, and what it means for Penn State’s wide receiver class with Khalil Taylor, DeShawn Hall, and Landon Blum still central to the 2027 picture.

This matters because Penn State’s 2027 recruiting class is still in strong shape, but the wide receiver board is not fully settled. If Jamir Dean flips to Georgia, Penn State needs to close on Khalil Taylor and DeShawn Hall to keep the receiver haul near the top of the country.

Penn State fans: how concerned are you about Jamir Dean, and how big is the Elijah Guertin commitment for the future of this defense?
