White Out Game Means Big Recruiting Day for Penn State

For the second consecutive week, the No. 6 ranked Penn State football program will be hosting a large number of highly rated recruits.

The highly anticipated matchup against Ohio State was the reason last week and this Saturday, recruits will be flocking to Beaver Stadium for Penn State’s annual ‘White Out Game‘.

Despite the loss to the Buckeyes, this is still a huge and meaningful game for the Nittany Lions as they’re positioned well to be one of the twelve teams selected for the College Football Playoffs.

Considering they’re currently ranked No. 6, if Penn State is able to win out, they’ll no doubt receive a playoff bid.

With so much on the line and with it being a ‘White Out’ game, it should be quite the scene Saturday night in State College.

Last weekend, Penn State hosted over 160 recruits and while we don’t have an exact number yet, the matchup against Washington should rival that number.

NSN will have more names as we approach kickoff, here are some names that we confirmed that will be in attendance.
