Penn State offensive line coach Phil Trautwein started the day on a high note when signee Malachi Goodman was named a five-star recruit in 247Sports’ final Class of 2025 rankings.
He’s looking to find the next star lineman and worked toward that goal by visiting Class of 2026 four-star tackle Bryce Gilmore in Prosper, Texas.
