Which Blue-Chip Prospects Can Penn State Still Land in 2027?

Penn State coaches are busy out on the road recruiting this month, with all-important official visits beginning at the end of the month for college football. Today on the BWI Live Show, we’ll recap the team’s current class and examine where things can go from here in the next few weeks of recruiting. Which positions have the best situation? Which ones are a concern? And where can Penn State add blue-chip prospects in the Class of 2027? We’ll discuss all of that, plus run down which prospects the team is visiting.

Join us on the BWI Live Show today at 10 a.m. on YouTube! We’ll be taking your questions live on air throughout the show and featuring the best at the end in the BWI Mailbag.

Penn State Class recap

Penn State coaches are out on the road this month visiting committed players, plus the team’s top targets for the remainder of the cycle. We’ll start today’s show with a review of where the current committed class breaks down by position. From there, we’ll discuss the latest RPMs in favor of Penn State. With that picture in mind, we’ll discuss where we think the team has been strong through the first part of the abridged recruiting cycle, where the team has some work to do, and where the outlook is cloudier.

Of the remaining top recruits, which positions have the best opportunity for Penn State to land blue-chip or high-priority recruits on their positional boards? We’ll ask recruiting reporters, Sean Fitz and Ryan Snyder.

D-Line leverage

Recently, Snyder spoke with 2027 defensive line prospect Zahmar Tookes. He mentioned a similar aspect of his recruiting journey that Fitz brought up earlier in the week on the Tuesday BWI Live Show. The team seems to have a strong recruiting position along the defensive line with its remaining prospects. How can they use that leverage to their advantage, and what might it produce for the class?

Coaches on the road and BWI Mailbag

Finally, we’ll get into the nitty-gritty of where the coaches have visited in the last week and which players they plan to see in the coming days. Snyder has a detailed road map on the site, which we’ll discuss part of on today’s show.

After that, we’ll close out the show with the BWI Mailbag and the recruiting questions we received on the submission thread earlier this week.
