This team should be good enough to go 8-2 this fall and vie for a high-profile bowl game, even without Parsons. While they might be looking up at Ohio State in the standings, the Nittany Lions have a New Year’s Six bowl feel about them. The Nittany Lions should have one of the better teams in the Big Ten this year. Regardless, Penn State has no choice but to carry on. While the initial Coaches Poll still reflects that, it’s incredibly difficult for even a blue-blood program like Penn State to overcome losing its best player. Penn State had a top-10 team heading into the 2020 college football season. It’s a rough day for Penn State as is, as star linebacker Micah Parsons formally announced his intentions to opt-out of his junior season and turn pro. When it’s a whiteout and a hated Big Ten rival like the Ohio State Buckeyes or the Michigan State Spartans are in town, you will want no part of it if you play for or root for the visiting team. Beaver Stadium is absolutely massive, as it can hold over 107,000 rabid Nittany Lions fans.

Penn State has one of the best home-field advantages in the Power 5.

Penn State had Robinson as one of its top targets in the 2021 class before he decided to stay home and commit to Maryland in March.A letter from next time… #WeAre #107KStrong /MLrxMo1EnS The nearly 6-foot-4, 194-pound prospect was impressive pushing the ball down the field and was accurate in the short game as well.Ĭurtis Jacobs was our top overall performer, but he was followed closely by Quince Orchard four-star Demeioun Robinson, who also worked out at linebacker. 18 Michigan and eventually downed the Wolverines 43-40 in quadruple overtime after a touchdown run from Bill Belton ended the game. Veilleux also camped for the staff last summer and impressed with his size and athleticism, in addition to his arm. The longest game in Big Ten history, Penn State hosted then No. Penn State offered the Canadian signal-caller, who played last year at Canisus ( John Urschel ) in Buffalo and will play at Bullis School ( Cam Brown ) in Maryland this year. Quarterback Christian Veilleux was a top-five performer in our rankings and was the top signal-caller on hand. It looks like Penn State will land just one, however. It was a good group of rising juniors on hand for the session, some of which would become household names in the cycle. Even at 6-foot-2.5, Brevard is able to dip and get under interior offensive linemen. He didn’t fall back on a bull rush, either, using his hands to get linemen off balance and then exploding past them. Dawkins worked out for the staff a few times last summer and put forth good performances each time.īrevard was a standout in one-on-ones, taking on a younger group of interior offensive linemen and more often than not having his way with them. Offensive lineman Nick Dawkins and defensive tackle Cole Brevard were the class of the linemen group. He would eventually finish the cycle as a five-star prospect by 247Sports. Linebacker Curtis Jacobs used the camp as an opportunity to work with Brent Pry and he turned in one of the more impressive linebacker camp performances that we’ve seen. Quarterback Micah Bowens flew in for the weekend and had a light workout with Ricky Rahne and the staff. Penn State hosted four of its nine commitments for camp (that number added four over the course of the weekend and subtracted one as Derek Wingo flipped to Florida). Penn State only had one camp scheduled for after the dead period in July, meaning three more dates would have likely popped up. That number doesn’t include any off-campus camps or additions to the schedule. You can check out our original camp report here.Īs an aside, the Nittany Lions would have gotten at least six camps in before the dead period was scheduled to go into effect on June 22. Needless to say, there was a little more going on last June than this year. In addition, Penn State hosted 10 official visitors over the June 22 weekend. Today we’ll take a look back at who was on hand and where things have gone in their recruitment since then.
PENN STATE WHITE OUT 2020 TICKETS CRACK
The group last year ran the gamut from current commitments, 2020 prospects looking for a last crack at an offer, 2021 prospects just coming onto the radar and 2022 rising stars. Still, pound-for-pound it has consistently been the most talent-laden individual camp. The June 22 showcase was the Nittany Lions’ smallest camp of the summer, with just over 60 prospects on hand. It’s been one year since Penn State hosted its last White Out Camp, which took place in Holuba Hall and the surrounding practice fields due to turf work at Beaver Stadium last summer.
