 Draft Scout College Football Player News: Penn State

  06/03/22 - *Parker Washington, rSo/2023, Penn State, 5-10, 204 (DS#20 WR) + More +

  Penn State announced its theme games for the 2022 football season Wednesday afternoon, including its White Out game. The Nittany Lions will take on the Minnesota Golden Gophers on Oct. 22 in the White Out, in a game that will also serve as homecoming at Beaver Stadium and the yearly "Generations of Greatness" game - featuring Penn State's alternate uniforms. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. for the game. The White Out was one of seven theme games announced by the program in a video on its Twitter account.

One of the other key games announced was the Stripe Out game against Ohio State on Oct. 29. The game against the Buckeyes will be the first with fans at Beaver Stadium that isn't a White Out since 2009 when the program chose Iowa for the yearly game. This year's game against the Buckeyes does not have a scheduled kickoff, but it is not expected to be a night game. - Centre Times

  05/29/22 - *Joey Porter Jr., Jr/2023, Penn State, 6-3, 198 (DS#3 CB) + More +

  The Big Ten announced three kickoff times for Penn State football Thursday afternoon after the Nittany Lions announced one Wednesday morning. The Nittany Lions will play the Purdue Boilermakers on the road Sept. 1 - a Thursday - at 8 p.m. in their season opener, which will air on Fox. They'll then take on the Ohio Bobcats at noon Sept. 10, which will air on ABC. Their homecoming game - an Oct. 22 matchup with the Minnesota Golden Gophers - will kick off at 7:30 p.m and air on a to be determined network. The three announcements come just over 24 hours after it was announced they'll play the Auburn Tigers at 3:30 p.m. on Sept. 17. That game will air on CBS, the first time Penn State has played on the network in 22 years. Those four games are the only ones of the NIttany Lions' 12 that have a scheduled kickoff time. - Centre Times

  05/29/22 - Zakee Wheatley, rSr/2026, Penn State, 6-3, 202 (DS#4 SS) + More +

  Zakee Wheatley was a three-sport athlete most of his life. He played basketball, baseball and football until his sophomore year of high school, when he put his baseball glove away for good. Next came the basketball shoes after he graduated high school - although he still plays from time to time for fun with teammates. That leaves just football for Wheatley. "It was hard (to drop basketball)," he said. "But I knew what I needed to do. I knew what I wanted. I knew football was the sport for me. Football was always my first, my real love." For the first time as a high-level athlete he's focused primarily on one sport. And now the Nittany Lion defensive back is primed to take a massive step forward in his second year with Penn State football.

Wheatley spent his first year on campus as a cornerback, where he used his 6-foot-2 frame and athletic talent to stay with wide receivers in practice. Eventually the Penn State staff determined that his abilities would be best used in a more central location and moved him to safety this offseason. The news stung teammate - and classmate - Kalen King, who broke out as a corner last season. "At corner I knew he was gonna be good," King said with a smile. "I was mad when they switched him to safety because I wanted him to stay at corner so we could be on the field at the same time. The coaches wanted better for him and he made the most of his opportunity when he switched to safety. He's a ball hawk." - Centre Times

  05/21/22 - Chop Robinson, Jr/2024, Penn State, 6-3, 254 (DS#3 DE) + More +

  The team's top pass rusher is gone with Ebiketie heading to the NFL and the Nittany Lions did well to replace some of the 9.5 sacks he had last season. Robinson is young and talented off the edge with the upside to be a high-level player for Penn State, while Dennis-Sutton has as much potential as any player in the program. Combine their arrivals with the return of Isaac, who tore his achilles and missed the 2021 season, and Penn State should be even better at defensive end this season. - Centre Times

  05/16/22 - Hunter Nourzad, rSr/2024, Penn State, 6-3, 317 (DS#8 C) + More +

  Penn State football has announced the addition of offensive lineman Hunter Nourzad. Nourzad comes to Penn State after spending the last four years at Cornell University. Nourzad finished career at Cornell starting 20 consecutive games at right tackle. In 2021 he earned second-team All-America honors from the AFCA...Picked up third-team All-America laurels from Phil Steele...Named Phil Steele's Ivy League Offensive Lineman of the Year...Was a first-team All-Ivy League selection...Earned Academic All-Ivy League Honors…Was a semifinalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy...Named to the NFF Hampshire Honor Society. - Penn State Football

  05/10/22 - Adisa Isaac, rSr/2024, Penn State, 6-4, 247 (DS#5 DE) + More +

  Poised for a 2022 standout season: DE Adisa Isaac, junior. A torn Achilles tendon last summer sidelined Isaac the entire season. Now he's in line to take over Arnold Ebiketie's spot and bookend with Nick Tarburton. Two years ago, Isaac had 13 tackles, including 1.5 sacks, in spot duty. - AP College Football

  Few players can help themselves this fall more than Adisa Isaac. He's the type of pass rusher NFL teams are willing to overdraft. His size and athleticism are top notch but he hasn't been on the field for over a year after tearing his Achilles last offseason. Isaac can prove he's worthy of the 2023 NFL Draft if his production can match his tools in his first year as a starter. - Tribune Review

  Early 2023 first round mock drafts have begun to roll in and this is the name that constantly comes up. Penn State's Porter is the ideal size for an NFL cornerback and has the athleticism to hang with the best receivers in football. His next major test will be proving he can cover consistently without committing penalties. Doing that should put him firmly in the first round of next year's draft. - Tribune Review

  05/05/22 - Curtis Jacobs, rJr/2024, Penn State, 6-1, 241 (DS#10 OLB) + More +

  Jacobs is the best linebacker at Penn State and should be in position to get drafted if he chooses to leave early next year. That being said, he still has steps to take to get there. Jacobs flies all over the field and is one of the best athletes the Nittany Lions have. He uses that to make plays in both the run and passing game, relying on his instincts to make plays. He just has to combine his high-level play with more experience and refinement and he should see his name rise up draft boards. - Tribune Review

  QB Sean Clifford is heading into his sixth season at Penn State and fourth as the starter. He's had an up-and-down career, but it's possible an NFL team will take a chance on him because of his work ethic and experience. While he could go in the late rounds, his age should push him to being an undrafted free agent. - Tribune Review

  05/05/22 - JiAyir Brown, rSr/2023, Penn State, 5-11, 203 (DS#4 SS) + More +

  Ji'Ayir Brown is one of the top potential prospects for Penn State next season. He chose to return for an extra year of eligibility when he would've been one of the top safeties drafted in the 2022 NFL Draft. He's excellent playing the deep third of the field in coverage, leading the nation in interceptions with six, but can also play man against slot receivers. Brown is one of the most well-rounded safety prospects in the country heading into the 2022 season. - Tribune Review

  Mustipher had a chance to leave early after the 2021 season but an injury ended his season early and he decided to return for the 2022 season. The veteran defensive tackle is a good athlete who uses his size to occupy space in the running game while showing some upside as a pass rusher. He uses his hands well - thanks in part to his wrestling background - and has shown he can have a role in the NFL. - Tribune Review

  05/04/22 - Curtis Jacobs, rJr/2024, Penn State, 6-1, 241 (DS#10 OLB) + More +

  Penn State's linebacker group is replacing 2021 starters Brandon Smith and Ellis Brooks. Returning starter Curtis Jacobs, who is expected to move from the weak side to the strong side, has a chance to be one of the Big Ten's best. But the Lions still haven't settled on a starter in the middle. The competition is between Tyler Elsdon and Kobe King, the twin brother of Penn State corner Kalen King. "I think the other question is linebacker," Franklin said. "We lost some horsepower at the linebacker position. I think we got a pretty good idea who the two outside linebackers are, and we had great competition as 'Mike' (middle) linebacker between Elsdon and Kobe. We're a little bit further ahead than we thought." - Tribune Review

  Penn State right tackle Caedan Wallace and center Juice Scruggs are returning starters, with Scruggs moving over from right guard. The coaching staff has also been pleased with new left tackle Olu Fashanu, Rasheed Walker's replacement. The Lions must find two starting guards and that will be a priority in August. - Tribune Review
