Welcome back into the Lions 24-7 podcast.

I am Tyler Donahue.

He is Daniel Gallen back for a well-deserved vacation away from the United States.

We got him back in Happy Valley.

We all regathered on Penn State's practice field on Wednesday, which was yesterday as we record.

Hopefully you caught our coverage of that first prospect camp for Penn State's busy June on the recruiting trail.

We had Tyler Calveruso on episode one this week to break down what this camp season will look like,

what it means for Penn State's future, and of course the official visits that are going to be taking place starting this

weekend on campus, a full rundown of some key names to know, some storylines to know with

Tyler Calabruso and I on our last episode of this podcast, which dropped on Tuesday.

So highly encourage you to check that one out if you want some recruiting scoop.

This time around, we're going to focus on the current Penn State roster and answer a question or at least try to answer a question

that we won't truly have clarity on until November which is what are the position strengths

of this Penn State roster that has undergone so many changes 50 new players here in happy valley for the

2026 season so many of them were wearing different college uniforms last year and of course a

significant chunk of talent has moved on from state college so what are the positions that

when we look across the field right now, we feel pretty confident in saying

this is a group that's going to be a good one. Daniel and I will break that one down along the way.

But as I said, Daniel, good to get you back in the fold. We've got a really eventful month of

coverage here at lines 24-7, but don't want to forget what ultimately lies at the end of the

summer, which is this actual football team getting on the field, preparing for September 5th kickoff against Marshall.

A reminder that you, me, Mark Brennan, Tyler Cavaruso, everybody out there who cares about Penn State football has so much to learn between now and the fall.
