Last week, Brown was at the Rivals Five-Star Challenge and earned accolades for his performance. Snyder will recap Brown's accomplishments among his peers and discuss what that means for his outlook and future in Happy Valley. We'll also recap the team's three-man recruiting weekend to end June with Jackson Ford, Jack Fuchs, and kicker Adam McCann-Gibbs on today's show. What has Snyder learned about Ford? He spoke to the defensive end's head coach to learn more about the latest Nittany Lion. The final wave of commitments coming up this weekend Penn State still has several top targets on the board who will make their college destinations known this weekend. This will likely be the last big recruiting weekend of the calendar now that the process has moved earlier into May and June. We'll preview the decisions coming from players like Tyson Harley, Marlen Bright, and cornerback Dorian Barney. The Bad: Penn State June Recap stingsWe've chronicled how many prospects Penn State missed on this recruiting cycle over the last two and a half weeks. From Grayson McKeogh to Luke Wafle, most of the team's top targets left after official visits went to different schools. While it's undoubtedly a loss, how much of a loss is still a fair debate. Today, we'll try to better understand the new gap between what Penn State previously achieved before NIL and now. The team didn't routinely land elite prospects at the most valuable positions, but there's also a clear erosion of their recruiting. Snyder will attempt to pick through the results to give fans a better understanding.#PennState  #NittanyLions  JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationBookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters:  https://bluewhiteonline.com Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3Penn State's 2026 Recruiting Class Nears Finish Line: Who's Left to Commit? | June Recap Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
