Off-Field Changes: A Penn State Staffer Moves On
Ben Kerr, a familiar face at Penn State for seven years, is bidding farewell. He's off to West Virginia to take on a new role as the Mountaineers' director of player personnel. This move means he won't be a part of Matt Campbell's inaugural Penn State staff in 2026.
The Portal and Roster: Who's Staying, Who's Going?
As the transfer portal opens, we're witnessing a wave of movement. Kaden Saunders has released a heartfelt statement, announcing his plans to enter the portal as a graduate transfer. He expresses his gratitude for his time at Penn State and his excitement for the new chapter ahead.
Additionally, Penn State defensive tackle Xavier Gilliam has also made his intentions clear, planning to enter the transfer portal with three years of eligibility remaining. This move is a significant loss for the Lions, as Gilliam was a key player in 2025 and was expected to start in 2026.
Staff Updates: Change is in the Air
BWI's Nate Bauer provides an insightful perspective on the staff situation at Penn State. In his words, "Change is front and center." As the new year approaches, the staff is undergoing some transformations. New head coach Matt Campbell is reportedly working to add another Lions letterman, DeOn'Tae Pannel, to his staff. Pannel, who played alongside D'Anton Lynn at Penn State, is currently the defensive line coach at Austin Peay.
The Return of Nittany Lions
Amidst all the changes, there's also good news. Four Penn State players have confirmed their return for the 2026 season under Matt Campbell. OT Anthony Donkoh, OG Cooper Cousins, OT Owen Aliciene, and TE Andrew Rappleya will be back to don the Nittany Lions jersey.
