Penn State practice observations with Fitz and Bauer

Penn State head coach James Franklin discussed the team's progress at the halfway point of camp, explaining that things are status quo.

"Yeah, I hate to keep saying the same thing to you guys over and over and over again, but I feel it's about a foundation. I think we've laid a foundation where most of the offense, defense, and special teams are in right now," Franklin said after practice.

But what does that look like up close? Fitz spent time with the defense and Bauer was with the offense for most of the open practice window. They'll give their thoughts on the proceedings in today's opening segment.

If you'd like more intel on what they saw, check out their articles from Tuesday night on the offense and the defense.

Tackle article: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/news/can-penn-state-mitigate-the-loss-of-two-starting-tackles-heres-who-benefits-most-from-new-offense/

The Penn State offensive line is undergoing a massive change this offseason, with three starters moving on to the NFL. How will all of that shake out? With the shift to new Penn State offensive coordiantor Andy Kotelnicki, is there a way to mitigate the loss of tackles Olu Fashanu and Caedan Wallace? We're talking about that today on the BWI Live Show. Join the show at 10 a.m. on YouTube or watch the replay embedded in this article.

Penn State scheme could help mitigate the loss of Olu Fashanu

Earlier this week, we discussed the concept of working around the team's new tackle situation with first-time starters Drew Shelton and Anthony Donkoh or Nolan Rucci by leaning into what Kotelnicki did best at Kansas: run the football. Successfully deploying the ground game keeps the team out of obvious passing situations, which was the strength of Fashanu.

But what if you didn’t need those skills the same way? We’ve talked about this previously, but true passing situation opportunities can heavily influence the perception of a player’s skills. Last year, Fashanu saw 142 of PFF’s true passing situation blocks in Penn State’s run-first scheme, which equated to 57th among all Power Five tackles.

But Kansas had even fewer of those plays. Kansas left tackle Dominic Puni played in as many games as Fashanu and only had to block 86 times in obvious passing situations, which is tied for 122nd.

Check out the rest of the article here.

Penn State running back depth

After discussing the offensive line and depth, we move on to the running back position. Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen are Penn State's offensive focal points. But if the team regularly uses both of them, they will need depth assurances for injury. We look into how Quinton Martin and Cam Wallace will compete for the third and fourth running back jobs behind the starters.

Is there a path to the field for the freshman? We discuss Martin's receiving ability and what a role for the 6-1 freshman would look like this season.

The Penn State Nittany Lions football team will have a new defense this year under defensive coordiantor Tom Allen. It's a new system featuring new potential combinations.

Or is it?

Today on the BWI Live Show, we discuss how James Franklin's comments about Jaylen Reed last week unlocked our understanding of the plan for the 2024 defense. We'll take you through the history of Penn State's usage of a 4-2 defense and what potential combinations the team could have on the field this upcoming season.

Penn State's new/old plan on defense

Playing a defensive back as a third linebacker is nothing new in college football, whether it's called the Lion, Star, Predator, or any other name. In fact, former Penn State defensive coordinator Manny Diaz had the same plan for the Nittany Lion's defense when he first arrived in 2022. Like Diaz, Allen will play a third safety more often than they have in the last year and a half, according to Franklin's comments, to start spring football.

"We have a number of guys that we feel really good about at the safety position. When you take [KJ] Winston and Jaylen Reed, those two guys have played a ton of football for us. They're both experienced guys, are both playmakers, are both big and strong enough to be physical aspects in the run game," Franklin said.

Both players fit the bill to play a quasi-linebacker role, but Franklin cleared up who will play the Lion this year when talking about the team's third safety, Zakee Wheatley.

"Zakee Wheatley is a guy that we're expecting to take a big step. He's had by far his best offseason. Not even close. That also allows us to maybe use Reed in the nickel position that we're going to call the lion position."

What that tells us about the rest of the defense

From there, we can extrapolate where the rest of the safeties will line up and what this defensive formation will look like. We can also assume that if Franklin is talking about using it more, other defensive combinations will take a step back. However, the team still needs to have those packages figured out for when they're needed during the season. We review the team's base (4-3) defense and the nickel and dime options at cornerback for the upcoming spring football season.

Finally we turn the focus to the offense and consider the team's options on offense.

The Penn State Nittany Lions recruiting efforts kicked back into high gear this week with the start of spring football. The team has already hosted a top quarterback prospect, and will host numerous top 100 players over the next several days. The recruiting experts from Blue White Illustrated are back to discuss all of that, and more on today's BWI Live Recruiting Show.

Sean Fitz and Ryan Snyder break down the team's most interesting recruiting visits this week. Join the recruiting show every Thursday at 10 a.m. on YouTube to be the first to find out the latest recruiting news. If you can't make the live show, check out the replay on the BWI YouTube Channel or here on the site.

Penn State hosts one of its top quarterback prospects

The week started out strong, with four-star quarterback Maik Washington visiting the program on Tuesday. Washington is one of the top quarterback prospects Penn State is courting this cycle so getting him on campus early is a win. Fitz and Snyder update fans on the competition for Penn State's open quarterback spot between Washington and borderline five-star passer Matt Zollers. Snyder explains how the timeline for the two quarterbacks ultimately affect the decision if there is one for Penn State.

The tight end board is an equally promising section of Penn State's recruiting efforts in 2023. Four-start tight end Andrew Olesh visits the program Thursday, but the team has several other top prospects interested in the program. Can the Lions land another elite tight end? We discuss the potential for the team to add to its stacked roster.

Penn State cornerback board and recruiting visitors

Fitz broke down Penn State's cornerback board last week in an in-depth article focusing on the major players at the position. On today's show he talks about the players that stand out at the position, including McDonogh's Brandon Finney and UK transplant Onis Konanbanny. Beyond the individual names, what's the overall feeling of Penn State's position? He discusses that on the show. We also highlight current commit Xxavier Thomas and how he fits into the positional outlook.

Finally, Fitz and Snyder discuss the interesting and important names visiting the program during the first week of spring practice. Does Penn State have a chance with Ohio running back Bo Jackson? Top 15 player Kaliq Lockett visits on Thursday and is a national talent at receiver. Our experts discuss Penn State's position with these top prospects and more.

Offensive preview: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/news/three-penn-state-players-or-positions-that-will-benefit-the-most-from-andy-kotelnickis-offense/

The Penn State football team opens up spring practice this week with the first of 15 practices on Tuesday evening. To preview the spring period, we’re discussing what fans should expect from both sides of the ball on today’s BWI Live Show. We’ll go over several players who should benefit from offensive coordiantor Andy Kotelnicki’s scheme and how the offense will feel different this upcoming season. We’ll finish the show by discussing the camp battles that will determine the personality of the Penn State defense.

Penn State offensive vibe shift under Andy Kotelnicki

We start today’s show by discussing the Penn State offense. We’ve discussed several of the different ways that Kotelnicki will bring a new dynamic to the Lion’s offense this upcoming season, but today, we’re highlighting the players who stand to benefit the most from his system. If you missed it, we’re discussing the article from earlier this week that outlined three positions or players that will see additional support. We highlight one particular position on the show.

The bottom line is that Kotelnicki was excellent at manufacturing explosive plays from slot targets. When Kansas’ quarterbacks targeted players who lined up in the slot, the team averaged an explosive play on 24% of those snaps. Even from a non-rate perspective, Kansas produced 26 explosive passing plays compared to Penn State’s 15. They did that on 16 fewer passing attempts just to drive the point home.

Check out the full article here. But beyond the players that the system helps, we discuss the style of offense that Kotelnicki has developed. We describe the “vibes” of the offense and what we expect for this upcoming season.

Penn State defensive battle

Lastly, we cover the team’s defensive shift under new Penn State defensive coordinator Tom Allen. Today’s show details the spring camp battles determining the defense’s personality. The position battles in camp aren’t just about which players win battles locally but how that player stacks up to other positions on the roster. We preview the larger battle for the final starting spot and which players will represent their position for the right to play in the base defense.
