The episode features insights from Iowa State transfer Ben Brahmer, who discusses his development under coach Taylor Mouser and the tight end room’s chemistry. From NIL advantages to shifting recruiting momentum and facing off with Big Ten rivals, this episode explores whether Matt Campbell’s early wins mark the rise of a true recruiting powerhouse at Penn State.
