I know, was focusing on the recruiting class from 4 years ago and not their 2025 team. Dani-Dennis Sutton is the other excellent DE, Zane Durant is the DT. Both were honorable mention all conference.

Who are the big wallets backing Penn State?
Also, I think Penn State has 5,000 people supporting their NIL program and UW has 500 to 600. If UW had 4,500 more people sign up for Montlake Futures, that would generate over $2.8 million annually.

I don't think their "big wallets" are more than corporate doners run/managed by their alums. They just have a lot more of those due to general fan/alum passion.There's nothing they do that Washington can't also do.

It's more alums by being a larger school with like 50 satellite schools. The contrast in sponsorship at PSU vs UW is always interesting to me.
PSU just sold the naming rights to the field of Beaver Stadium to something called West Shore Home, which is a home re-modeler for like $3m/year. We sold our field rights to the 5th largest airline in the country for $4m /year 10 years ago.
PSU gets sponsorship money from Highmark cause health insurance for the olds is such a big deal there. And there is sponsorship by like PA state employee credit union.
We put Microsoft (or at least used to) in the stadium and have the Boeing Apple Cup. We list a bunch (and this is a bit old now) but those are far more national that what PSU gets.

One thing that seems unique and an advantage with Penn State is they are the only big time sports college in the state really in a massive state population wise. Ohio State has this too. Plus, both are excellent states for producing football talent.

One thing they can do is improve their Montlake Futures hats. I in a possibly mild manic episode donated and thought the hat was one of the cool things but it showed up and it's a stiff snapback style hat that I would never wear. No reason it shouldn't be a soft baseball style like old fucks and rich old fucks wear which is the whole point so they're wearing it out and on the golf course etc instead of having to give it to their nephew. I'm sure the snapback style is cheaper but 99.99% of people who are donating won't wear that style.

Wow the Pitt, Temple, and Penn slander! Actually, Eat shit pitt!
Pennsylvania and Ohio are basically the same thing, states with big population centers then tiny towns sprinkled 5 minutes apart throughout the state. The Pennsyl-tucky contingent, which is vast, are huge Penn State folks. The folks in Pittsburgh and Philly are as well, but less rah rah. Their kids are more likely to end up at Pitt, Temple, or one . They tend to think of Penn State fans as yokels. They aren't completely wrong. Same in Ohio. Columbus is obviously big but literally has no suburbs. Farm to table is a thing there. BTW Cincy has a cool little campus. The stadium is tucked into the campus and students walk through on the way to classes. Cincy, IWILTCI, is an interesting place, where there is some cool shit, but very obviously sketchy shit across the street. CSB.
