On Saturday, James Franklin and his staff will welcome a slew of visitors for the yearly Lasch Bash BBQ recruiting event. Additionally, the staff will hold their final recruiting camp of the summer on Friday night.
One major Penn State target that will be in town is tight end Theo Johnson.
The Canadian native is arguably the best tight end in the 2020 cycle, and Penn State is among his leaders entering the weekend. The Nittany Lions find themselves battling Iowa, Georgia, and Michigan for Johnson’s services. After a strong showing at The Opening finals earlier this month, Johnson received a huge ratings boost and is now a top 100 player nationally, according to 247Sports.
