Penn State Football will host 11 prospects for its first official visit to the June recruiting calendar, starting on Friday. On today’s BWI Live Recruiting Show, we’ll discuss the importance of these prospects, the outlook for the summer when hosting a prospect for the first weekend of the summer period, and more. Join the show live at 10 a.m. on YouTube to get in on the conversation!

We’ll also discuss the next wave of potential Penn State recruits heading to Happy Valley on Saturday and Sunday for the team’s first summer prospect camps. Will the team find another Peter Gonzalez, who blew away the team’s testing drills at this time last year on the way to an official visit and commitment? We’ll discuss the team’s process of identifying and recruiting players today.

Now is a perfect time to subscribe to the Blue White Illustrated YouTube Channel. The team will get several critical recruiting commitments over the next few months, and the best way to know when that happens is to subscribe and enable notifications so you know when we drop a commitment video.

Penn State official visit weekend

This weekend’s visitors descend on Happy Valley starting on Friday, May 31. The team has gone quiet with commitments since before the Blue-White Game in April with running back Alvin Henderson. So who might be the next player to take the plunge? The defensive roster for the recruiting class of 2025 is sparse so a commitment from edge defender Cedric Works or Max Granville would be a big win for Penn State.

Yet the headliners for this weekend are the receivers. Quincy Porter, Lex Cyrus and Corey Simms will each try Penn State on for size over the next several days. Will any join Lyric Samuel in the receiver room?

We’ll also discuss the impact of getting the nation’s top linebacker Ty Jackson to campus. Can the Nittany Lions snag the elite Florida recruit?

Prospect camps start this weekend

On top of the critical visitors coming to campus, the team needs to find the next wave of recruits. Prospect camps start on Saturday and continue on Sunday. Last year, Gonzalez put together an impressive performance that landed him a scholarship offer and a spot in the Class of 2024. Are there any players who might fit that bill this year?

We’ll also discuss how important these camps are for the recruiting department for the next cycle in 2026.
