Recruiting Show: Penn State predicted to get another commitment for 2023 soon

Penn State football is 1-0 heading into their home opener against the Ohio Bobcats on Saturday afternoon. While most non-conference games against non-Power Five opponents don't draw a tremendous recruiting crowd, this week is different. The BWI Daily Recruiting show is back to discuss the list of names in attendance for the game this weekend. However, they start the show discussing changes coming to the Tuesday recruiting show, with Sean Fitz joining the Blue White Illustrated staff. Penn State also has a new recruiting prediction pick from insider Ryan Snyder.

Snyder and host Greg Pickel discuss the unique story behind Tracy and his journey to college football. Next, they dive into the performance of players committed to Penn State in Week 2 of the high school football season. Pickel starts with quarterback commit Jaxon Smolik and his performance in a blowout win this past weekend. Snyder then recaps the other players performances from last Friday, including tight end Joey Schlaffer, King Mack and Mathias Barnwell, and Tony RojasFinally, they discuss the recruiting list for this weekend, which includes some notable regional players in the classes of 2024 and 2025.
