Can Virginia Tech capitalize on Franklin's recruiting prowess, or are they repeating old mistakes?

Penn State Wrestling Takeaways vs. Oklahoma — Connor Mirasola Looks Elite, No PJ Duke
Penn State Nittany Lions wrestling dominate Oklahoma with a 45-0 shutout, raising questions about whether anyone can stop their historic dual meet streak—now at 72 wins. Can this powerhouse squad break Oklahoma State’s all-time record? Zach Seyko spotlights standout performances from Connor Mirasola, who toppled #8 DJ Parker, and true freshmen Marcus Blaze and Joe Sealey, both delivering explosive tech falls. Insights include PJ Duke’s strategic rest, Levi Haynes’ injury scare and gritty pin, plus the twin victories from Connor and Cole Mirasola. Roster depth, redshirt strategy for Tyler Kasak and others, and upcoming battles at the Army Black Knight Invitational set the stage for pivotal lineup decisions. With the Bryce Jordan Center atmosphere electrifying the start and Shane Van Ness, Rocco Welsh, and Mitchell Mesenbrink adding statement wins, Penn State’s relentless pace and championship ambitions are on full display. Can anyone slow down the Nittany Lions this season? Become an every-dayer!

REVEALED: Penn State EXPANDING its Coaching Search — Mike Elko, Eli Drinkwitz, Brian Daboll, & More!
Penn State ramps up its head coaching search, refusing to settle for anything less than a program-changing hire. Could Mike Elko, Kalen DeBoer, or NFL veteran Brian Daboll be the answer? Zach Seyko unpacks the widening field of coaching candidates, questions why major programs haven’t locked in their stars, and examines Pat Kraft’s risk tolerance for hitting a home run. Is the next leader already in the pipeline, or will Penn State wait for playoff dust to settle? Meanwhile, the Nittany Lions gear up for their Big Ten clash against Michigan State with the coveted Land Grant Trophy on the line. Zach Seyko spotlights Ethan Grunkemeyer’s breakout performance, evaluates the Spartans’ potential two-QB trickery, and projects whether Penn State’s rejuvenated offense can break through Michigan State’s faltering defense. Can Penn State finish the season strong and set the tone for a new coaching era? Become an every-dayer!

Penn State Wrestling just dropped some major lineup news — and fans are stunned. Head coach Kale Sanderson confirmed that PJ Duke is starting at 157 lbs over Tyler Kasak, and that world champion Masanosuke Ono is taking a redshirt year. Host Zach Seyko breaks down why this is the right move for Penn State’s long-term dynasty and how it impacts the depth chart at 133, 141, and heavyweight. Plus: an injury update on Josh Barr, clarity on Aaron Nagao vs. Braeden Davis, and why the heavyweight battle between Lucas Cochran and Cole Mirasola could define the postseason.

Penn State’s Coaching Search SHOCKER: Missouri's Eli Drinkwitz Now the Favorite?!
Penn State’s coaching search continues — and while Eli Drinkwitz has emerged as the leading candidate, is he really the right hire? Host Zach Seyko breaks down why Drinkwitz feels more like “Franklin 2.0” than the bold move fans hoped for, and why Jeff Brohm or Alex Golesh might offer more upside. Plus: a recruiting disaster looms as top 2026 prospect Kevin Brown edges toward flipping, and rumors swirl around Chaz Coleman’s future. Finally, why Zach believes Penn State’s offense is about to break out vs Michigan State. Become an every-dayer!

Disaster Brewing for Penn State Recruiting?! Ohio State, West Virginia Looking to FLIP Top Commit
Penn State’s top 2026 commit, Kevin Brown, may be on his way out — and West Virginia is leading the charge. Host Zach Seyko of Locked On Nittany Lions teams up with Mountaineer Paul of Locked On West Virginia to break down how the Harrisburg native and elite offensive line prospect went from solid Penn State commit to possible WVU flip — with Ohio State lurking as well. They discuss Brown’s background, the NIL implications, and what this means for Penn State’s entire recruiting strategy under a new coaching regime. Plus: why Rich Rodriguez’s return to Morgantown could reshape recruiting battles across Pennsylvania. Become an every-dayer!
