Penn State football begins training camp next week. The offseason is coming to a close, so we're previewing the upcoming month of camp battles that will help shape the roster and depth chart for the upcoming season. Reporter Nate Bauer will also share his latest round of insight from the top people in the Lasch Football building. With Big Ten Media Days this week, we'll also preview the unofficial start to the fall season on today's show. 

Join the BWI Live Show at 10 a.m. on YouTube! With so much going on, including Greg Pickel's reporting from Las Vegas, now is a good time to subscribe to the Blue White Illustrated YouTube Channel. We'll have clips and press conferences from the open media session on Wednesday, plus Penn State media day next week. 

Penn State at Big Ten Media Days 

Penn State head coach James Franklin, safety Zakee Wheatley, quarterback Drew Allar, and Nick Dawkins will represent the Nittany Lions at the Big Ten Media Days in Las Vegas this week. We'll start today's show by discussing the event and what sort of meaningful conversations can come from this week. Bauer will share his thoughts on what he wants to learn from the conference representatives attending the event this week. 

Camp battle preview 

Next, we'll continue previewing the upcoming camp battles, which start next Wednesday for the Nittany Lions. We'll preview the next round of camp position battles that will take place in late July and through August. Today, we'll look at some of the more interesting battles that may or may not materialize through camp. 

We'll start with the deepest position on the roster: the running back room. There's no question who will start for the Nittany Lions, but who will back up Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen as the third running back? We'll look at the three or four primary candidates to fill in behind the superstar duo and discuss what each player can bring to the table. 

Next, we'll look at a surprising situation brewing on the right side of the offensive line. Will offensive line coach Phil Trautwein find a way to get both right tackles Nolan Rucci and Anthony Donkoh on the field? If he does, what does that mean for the rest of the line? We'll look at the men up front to give fans some insight into the battles on the right side. 

Summer conversation series 

Bauer continued detailing his conversations with Penn State's top brass this summer this week. Today, we'll ask him about his most recent articles, detailing his conversation with Franklin, including how Franklin processed the loss to Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl and what Franklin thinks about various positional groups on the 2025 roster.
