## Resource

Penn State legend and NBC color analyst Todd Blackledge sits down with Thomas Frank Carr for an exclusive BWI interview — and his take on Matt Campbell, Rocco Becht, and the 2026 season is everything Penn State fans have been waiting to hear from a national voice. Blackledge calls Campbell "the perfect hire for the right moment" — a genuine endorsement from someone who has covered college football at the highest level for decades and knows Penn State football intimately. He breaks down what Campbell's outreach to former lettermen has meant for the program, why connecting current players to Penn State's history matters, and what he thinks this blended roster can actually accomplish in year one.
