Penn State football recruiting will benefit greatly from Urban Meyer’s departure from Ohio State. I know what you’re thinking, “Great statement, captain obvious.”
Every major program in the country looking for top talent at this point will benefit from Meyer’s decision to retire. Ohio State currently has the No. 11 recruiting class in the nation.
The benefits for Penn State are two-fold. First, they’ll have a chance to pursue any de-committed recruits, or recruits who lose interest with Meyer gone. Second, the Nittany Lions can assume that Meyer’s decision to leave the program will impact overall recruiting and possibly weaken a strong Buckeyes program he built.
