OUTLOOK
Blackwood is the 10th-highest rated recruit Penn State has ever had and the third-highest in the Mike Rhoades era. He ranks just outside the top 100 on 247, clocking in at No. 102 overall in the 2025 class. He brings a versatile skill set and can fill the wing role that has been a bit of a question mark for Penn State the last few seasons. This is unquestionably a huge pickup for the Nittany Lions.
Welcome to Penn State, Mason!
