The Whiteout is Penn State Football’s best recruiting pitch. It is the most attended game for potential recruits. The Whiteout is an opportunity for the fans to showcase what is different about Penn State.

Potential recruits leave Happy Valley with an experience that is unmatched across college football. It’s just an amazing chance to showcase the program. The Whiteout is a great time, as past Nittany Lions are always hanging around on Saturday.

Dozens of top recruits are expected to attend the yearly Whiteout game, with additions happening every day. 19 of Penn States’ 25 commitments from the 2022 class were in attendance for last year’s Whiteout game.

The Whiteout leaves a lasting impression on the recruits and is the lifeblood of the Penn State program. There are very important recruits that will be in attendance from 2023, 2024, and the 2025 class.

A win against Minnesota will only make the experience better and lead to more recruits seriously considering the Nittany Lions.
