Quite a bit has happened in recruiting recently. Penn State picked up two new commitments yesterday — wideout Parker Washington and cornerback Joseph Johnson — which brought the Nittany Lions’ 2020 recruiting class to 18 total prospects. That may seem like a large number considering it’s only July 3, but taking a closer look at the scholarship situation for the 2020 season, and it’s easy to see how much room Penn State has to work with for the 2020 class.
OFFENSE: 38 Scholarships

TOTAL SCHOLARSHIPS: 85
So as currently situated, Penn State would be at the limit for the amount of scholarship players they can carry on the 2020 team.
