Description: Is Penn State becoming Iowa State 2.0 — and is that actually a good thing? Host Zach Seyko and recruiting analyst Brian Smith (Locked On The Portal) discuss how Matt Campbell’s Iowa State blueprint can rebuild Penn State fast through the transfer portal, with over 40 Cyclones available. They explain how this could solve Penn State’s depth issues, why defensive line help is priority number one, and how D’Anton Lynn’s return gives the program new defensive life. Plus, they highlight players to retain (Rappleyea, Rojas, Mack) and target (Rocco Becht, Carson Hansen, Jeremiah Cooper) to create the perfect roster mix.Become an every-dayer!
