Podcast: Locked On Nittany Lions - Daily Podcast On Penn State Nittany Lions Football & Basketball
Published On: Fri Jan 09 2026
Description: Penn State Nittany Lions face a critical turning point, missing out on top Ohio State wide receiver targets as transfer portal drama intensifies. Will James Franklin’s squad have enough firepower next season, or is the wide receiver room headed for trouble? Zach Seyko examines the fallout from Quincy Porter’s “do not contact” portal tag, Mylen Graham’s uncertain future, and Noah Rogers’ visit to Auburn, raising questions about Penn State’s NIL strategy and transfer appeal.Key topics include Penn State’s decisive moves to strengthen the defensive line with transfers Dallas Vakalahi (Utah) and Siale Taupaki (UCLA), the addition of safety Omarian Davis (Boston College), and the hiring of running backs coach Savon Huggins. Recruiting in New Jersey and the Midwest takes on new importance as Matt Campbell and Danton Lynn reshape defensive schemes. Will the new defensive front and coaching staff spark a resurgence, or is depth still a concern for the Nittany Lions?Become an every-dayer!
