Penn State’s recruiting pipeline is delivering big results. Host Zach Seyko and recruiting analyst Brian Smith spotlight former top recruits who are now becoming key contributors and potential superstars for the Nittany Lions.

- Why Zane Durant may be Penn State’s most indispensable player on defense.

- How Kaytron Allen could be underrated despite forming the best backfield in the country with Nicholas Singleton.

- King Mack vs. Antoine Belgrave-Shorter: the battle for strong safety in Jim Knowles’ defense.

- Elliot Washington’s upside after a dominant offseason.

- Sleeper candidates like Koby Howard, Randy Adarika, and TJ Shanahan who could make an impact.

And Penn State’s latest win on the recruiting trail: 2027 DB Gabe Jenkins, another elite prospect out of Pittsburgh.
