Former Penn State DT Brenon Thrift lands at West Virginia; 4-star recruit previews visit, and more

Today's Penn State football news headlines feature a transfer for destination for former defensive tackle Brenon Thrift and a preview of four-star defensive back Jordan Miner's weekend visit.

Thrift popped up on West Virginia's roster after opting to leave the Penn state program in January after just one season as a reserve. He transferred to Penn State from Lackawanna College last winter and was part of the Lions' 2016 recruiting class. Thrift, who attended Gateway High School and began his college career at Temple, did not record any statistics for the Lions. He will wear No.
