Redshirt senior Tyrece Mills transferred to Penn State from Lackawanna, joining previous defensive backs Ji’Ayir Brown and Jaquan Brisker and fellow teammate JB Nelson in the Scranton-State College pipeline. Mills redshirted in 2022 and played in six games as a junior, recording two tackles against UMass. Mills is now listed as a SAM linebacker, and is behind senior Dom DeLuca and freshman Kari Jackson on that depth chart. Given the linebacker depth, it will be interesting to see how much playing time Mills receives in 2024.
Jaxon Smolik committed to Penn State in August of 2022 after being originally committed to Tulane.
