Chase Meyer was wrapping up his freshman season at the University of Pennsylvania in 2022 when he got the call that he had feared for years. On the other side of the country in his hometown of Costa Mesa, California, Meyer’s father was locked into a long-term battle for his life. At that time, the unfortunate victor in the battle was becoming evident. It was cancer, and Peter Meyer was given six months left to live. The battle with sarcoma had been raging since Chase’s sophomore year of high school at national powerhouse Mater Dei. He was a two-time all-state selection for the Monarchs and opt...

STATE COLLEGE — Penn State defensive coordinator Tom Allen couldn’t pick where he’d call the defense from as the head coach at Indiana. Now, he can. The 54-year-old New Castle, Ind., native) is no longer required to read his play sheet from the sideline as he was when he was the leader of the Hoosiers. Given the choice, will he move to the press box alongside fellow first-year offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki? “I’ll be on the field,” Allen said without hesitation through the kind of raspy voice that mirrors the passion Nittany Lion fans will soon see him showcase on the sideline during ga...

Penn State and most major Division I programs were up late last night reaching out to Class of 2026 prospects to show their interest. In previous years, coaches couldn’t contact high school juniors until August 1, but that’s been updated now to June 15.

In addition to hosting official visitors and a 7-on-7 tournament, they also had to contact recruits at midnight. So who are some of the prospects that the Nittany Lions contacted? Below are some graphics that prospects have posted publicly through Saturda...

Penn State football head strength and conditioning coach Chuck Losey’s media sessions never focus on the negative. You are not going to learn who is too slow, not lifting enough, or is not eating enough to make the gains needed to see the field. But, every now and again, the longtime member of head coach James Franklin’s staff will point out a flaw in the context of explaining how it was improved on. It’s exactly what he did Thursday when asked about graduate receiver Julian Fleming. Hopes are high that the former five-star recruit and Ohio State Buckeye will be part of the revitalization of t...

STATE COLLEGE — Penn State football has welcomed its penultimate Class of 2024 signee to campus. Receiver Tyseer Denmark enrolled this week and was at the program’s annual Lift for Life event on Thursday. Blue-White Illustrated first reported Denmark’s pending arrival late last week.

STATE COLLEGE — Penn State coach James Franklin announced three of the program’s eventual captains for the season following the Blue-White game in 2023. No such announcement was made following this year’s spring scrimmage at Beaver Stadium. Every year, and team, is different. Over Franklin’s first 10 years here, he has had a various number of captains, and their selection has been revealed at different points of the calendar. In other words, it’s not exactly a major revelation. Yet, building on Franklin’s recent one-on-one interview with BWI’s Nate Bauer, during which he stressed the program’s...

STATE COLLGE — Penn State must replace first-round NFL Draft pick Olu Fashanu at left tackle. Third-year Nittany Lion Drew Shelton is the man to do so. But the Downingtown, Pa., native hit a roadblock on his path to full-time first-team reps this offseason after a planned surgery following the 2023 season caused him to miss all of spring practice. However, with preseason camp now a month and a half away, the experienced blocker is cleared to be all-systems-go for the team’s next practice snaps. “I think he handled his time out physically the right way,” Lions coach James Franklin said Thursday...
