The Penn State Football team enters a critical six-week stretch for the team’s 2024 preparations. The annual Lift for Life event kicks off that time of year, which happened last Thursday. On today’s BWI Live Show, we discuss what we saw and heard and who we spoke to at the event. Join Penn State insiders Sean Fitz and Nate Bauer for sixty minutes of discussion on the team, including your questions and comments! We’ll have our weekly mailbag segment to end the show.
Now’s a great time to subscribe to the Blue White Illustrated YouTube Channel. With recruiting news surging, you don’t want to miss any commitment recap videos or breaking news when it happens.
Fitz’s Recruiting Update
Before we dive into the Penn State Football discussion, we’ll start the show with our weekly update on the weekend’s recruiting efforts. Fitz gives you a recap of what you need to know about the team’s efforts with its latest commit, Jahmir Joseph, it’s latest miss, and more info from the official visit weekend.
While most of the news centers around the Class of 2025, the Lions were dealt a blow on Monday when 2026 quarterback Dia Bell picked Texas over Penn State. Fitz will discuss how that affects the next cycle and how the team will need to move on from its top target.
From there, we’ll discuss Joseph’s commitment and the news from the four uncommitted players who visited campus this past weekend.
Drew Allar: A future number-one pick?
Yesterday Eric Galko, Director of Operations for the Shrine Bowl, posted on X that he believes Penn State starting quarterback Drew Allar can be the top pick in next Spring’s NFL Draft. We’ll discuss the merits of what Galko said, his reasons for doing so, and the reality of Allar’s potential.
Lift for Life
Lift for Life is more than a charity event raising money for rare disease research, although that’s its critical objective. It’s also a chance to get a full view of the Penn State football team’s progress since spring football. This year, the event coincided with the team’s summer media update. So we’ll discuss the important comments from head coach James Franklin and his top assistants. We’ll also discuss what head strength coach Chuck Losey said when asked for his evaluation of the team.
BWI Mailbag
Finally, we’ll take your questions. You are the star in the BWI Mailbag as we take questions from the live audience during our Tuesday Show. We also have featured questions from the Lions Den that were submitted to the BWI Mailbag Thread. Join the show to have your voice heard!
