Penn State’s Blue-White Practice, NFL Draft topped weekend’s news. Catch up here

It was a busy weekend for Penn State sports in central Pennsylvania, with Blue-White Practice, the NFL Draft’s final rounds and even Penn State wrestling all making headlines. We’ve rounded up the top sports stories from the weekend, in case you missed them.

Here’s a look:

• Blue-White Practice drew thousands despite rain: Penn State held its final spring practice open to the public Saturday at Beaver Stadium, but steady rain and temperatures in the low 50s kept crowds far below the usual tens of thousands. First-year head coach Matt Campbell praised the turnout, saying it showed “how special it is to play here at Penn State.”

• QB Rocco Becht used spring to build chemistry off the field: Becht, who had offseason surgery on the labrum of his non-throwing shoulder, said he focused on film study and leadership while limited early in spring. Campbell said he was pleased Becht got quality reps over the final three weeks. The season opens Sept. 5 against Marshall.

• Six Nittany Lions were picked on Day 3 of the NFL Draft: Drew Shelton, Dani Dennis-Sutton, Zakee Wheatley, Nick Singleton, Zane Durant and Kaytron Allen went in rounds four through six, joining first-rounder Vega Ioane (Ravens) and third-rounder Drew Allar (Steelers).

• Several undrafted Penn State players signed free-agent deals: Center Nick Dawkins joined Ioane in Baltimore and has a legitimate chance to make the roster after the Ravens lost starting center Tyler Linderbaum in free agency.

• Three wrestlers with Penn State ties won U.S. Open titles: Luke Lilledahl, Marcus Blaze and Kyle Dake each claimed championships in Las Vegas to advance to Final X on June 19 in Newark, N.J. Lilledahl beat Olympic silver medalist Spencer Lee with a takedown in the final three seconds.
