Only Nolan Rucci Until Penn State Football

At 72 days to go, offensive lineman Nolan Rucci is up next.

First committing to Wisconsin coming out of high school, Rucci was considered a 5-star prospect, and the #1 player in Pennsylvania in the 2021 class. It was considered something of a coup that the Badgers were able to secure his commitment, but after 3 seasons in Madison, Nolan saw the light and transferred to Penn State ahead of the 2024 season.

Originally part of the 2-deep rotation, Rucci eventually moved into the starting role at right tackle when Anthony Donkoh went down with an injury against Maryland.
