Penn State plan for bye week changing with new rules

Normally, bye weeks during the college football season are prime recruiting weekends for the Penn State staff. However, new rules this season changed the typical plan for the Nittany Lions. Snyder discusses how that, plus the additional bye week, makes things very different for the staff than in previous years.

However, he outlines the general plan and number of coaches that will be on the road today. Look out for an article from Snyder about the specifics later on Thursday.

Team making impressive strides in wide receiver recruiting

The next section of the show is dedicated to the player feedback that Snyder received from his inquiries into the Bowling Green visitors. While there were more than we discuss on the show, we dive deeper into the conversations he had with 2027 targets Myles McAfee and Matt Gregory. McAfree is quickly ascending to the top of the names to know in recruiting for the Nittany Lions, and Gregory is an electric track athlete who recently received a scholarship offer from the staff. We discuss their comments about the game and the program before broadening the conversation to receiver recruiting.

Penn State wide receivers coach Marques Hagans was under pressure after a lackluster June recruiting surge. Yet since then, the team has put together an impressive run of commitments in 2026 and even made up ground that they lost in June with the commitment of Matthew Outten to begin September. We discuss the dynamics of that turnaround.

Commit performance and game preview

Finally, we review the Penn State commits and targets you need to know from the last seven days of high school football. Snyder put together a list of recruits who had standout games from last weekend and the upcoming games that feature recruits you need to follow. We discuss both lists to end the show.
