Looks like PSU is going to need a fair amount of those ISU portal guys. I’m hoping they can land some big time players here and there in the portal as well.

Becht and Manske will likely come in next year to replace Allar/Grunk. in 2027 campbell and co will try to get Peter Bourque or Israel Abrams. Manske, Bourque or Abrams, Evans, and Falzone will compete for the job once Becht graduates.

With Reynolds leaving I assume Brahmer is a done deal.

It could be -- we have no way of knowing. It's rarely such a simple explanation. PSU's TE roster is pretty stacked. Ands Rapp did very well. Then you add in the large change in the coaching staff. We rarely hear the details about NIL, but reportedly those conversations were slated to take place after the Pinstripe Bowl. From Brahmin's side, the agents rarely make it a simple "he wants to play for you." Their job is to get $$, and also to find a good roster spot.

Time will tell where Brahmer goes.

I really dislike what "college" football has become. Sigh.

And very thankful for those players who bleed blue and white.
You realize Grunk is leaving because he was told we were going to bring in someone else to start, right?
Not sure how anyone could blame him. The kid would have stayed if things were different. He could have easily left after last year.

How do you know what he was told. Were you in the meeting? Maybe he was told he would have to compete for the job.

If they bring a portal guy there's no competition. That guy is starting because he signed here as he was told he was starting
You may hate how college football is in 2026 but we all know Becht isn't coming here to compete. Come on.
He had to go--I said that weeks ago. Grunk was never returning without a guarantee he'd start--nor should he
You're all delusional with this "there's competition for roles" nonsense

Be interesting to see if it's a 2 for 1 deal with Becht & Manske. The QB room needed to be re-populated regardless of whether or not Grunk stayed.
