I've been going through photos and Twitter and speaking with sources throughout the day to confirm who all made the trip this weekend. I should have just about everyone below. There's so many that I'm sure I'm missing a few, but all the true scholarship contenders should be there, as well as a bunch of other players who could be potential walk-on targets or Div. I prospects elsewhere. Here are a few notes:
- You'll notice that former Utah walk-on Nick Billoups camped with the staff both Saturday and Sunday. Billoups is originally from San Clemente, Calif. I posted earlier in the week that Penn State also hosted junior college quarterback Michael Hiers. There's not much in the transfer portal right now, but Penn State is working out potential players to see how they'd fit.
- 2022 DT Lavon Johnson was a notable addition to Saturday's camp. I didn't have him on the list going into all this. 2023 RB Daylan Smothers didn't end up camping. He just did an unofficial visit and went home.
- A handful of 2021 walk-ons camped with the staff Sunday. Also, 2022 commits Drew Allar, Kaden Saunders, Ken Talley, Mehki Flowers and Maleek McNeil all camped. Anthony Ivey was unable to make the trip.
- One notable player that we didn't have coming into all this was 2023 QB Bo Edmundson from Lake Travis. I still need to ask around about his workout.
- Lackawanna OL JB Nelson was the only prospect to leave town with an offer this week. Penn State also worked out two other Lackawanna players in CB Isaiah Hackett and safety Aakeem Snell.
