Penn State football's second batch of official visits are underway after a massive weekend. Head coach Matt Campbell's first weekend of the season didn't pan out as he hoped, but he has a small group of targets to turn his attention to this time around.
In addition to safety commit, three-star Jonathan Galette, the Nittany Lions are hosting four other prospects. Here's who they are most likely to land sooner rather than later after their official visits:
1.) Offensive tackle Oscar Webersink
The unranked offensive tackle from Sweden was immediately impressed by the Nittany Lions at Wednesday's prospect camp. Likewise, Penn State took interest in him. Offensive line coach Ryan Clanton offered Webersink at the end of the camp and he penciled in a last-minute official visit for this weekend.
While unranked at the moment, Webersink is slowly becoming a touted prospect. He received offers from Maryland, West Virginia, Florida State, and Northwestern among others, but the blue and white are soaring above the rest quickly. It wouldn't be surprising to see Webersink pull the trigger and commit following the weekend considering other unofficial visits and prospect camps he has attended didn't result in scheduling an official visit.
2.) Interior offensive lineman Lucas Rhoa
Three-star interior offensive lineman Lucas Rhoa is ranked No. 575 nationally, No. 46 at his position, and No. 47 from California, per Rivals Industry Rankings.
Also in the mix to land him is UCLA. While the Bruins still have a chance in his recruitment, Rhoa has taken up the most interest in Penn State. Over this cycle, he took six unofficial visits before this weekend. Last weekend, UCLA hosted him for an official visit. Rhoa also has official visits with Oregon (May 29-31) and Texas (June 17-19).
The Nittany Lions are in the best position to land Rhoa as of this weekend. Though they haven't created a huge lead in his recruitment in comparison to other programs, they still have a 36.9 percent chance to land his commitment. The Bruins are in second with a 14.7 percent chance.
3.) Defensive lineman Elijah Guertin
Three-star defensive lineman Elijah Guertin is the No. 771 recruit nationally and No. 83 lineman from the Class of 2027. He's also ranked as the No. 1 recruit out of Rhode Island, per Rivals Industry Rankings.
Penn State is hanging on in his recruitment. It's still considered the top school, per predictions, for Guertin to commit to, but this weekend is a huge battle test for Campbell and his staff. The Nittany Lions need another edge rusher, which is exactly where Guertin comes into play. He has the measurements they want for their defensive line, and it would be a major win over Florida.
Penn State currently has a 26.8 percent chance to land Guertin with the Gators at a 23.5 percent chance.
Even though cornerback Dhillon McGee is a must-have commit, Campbell and associate head coach/cornerbacks coach Terry Smith have a lot of work to do if they want to catch up to SMU. If they land McGee, it won't be until his official visit season wraps up, which at least gives the Nittany Lions more time in his recruitment.
