The Recruitment

Estrella was a two year letter winner at Liberty High School in Bethlehem, PA. A team captain as a senior, Estrella recorded 75 tackles and three interceptions on defense. Offensively, he had 200 yards receiving and a score.

This strong senior campaign led to Estrella earning a spot as a walk on at Penn State.

2024 Outlook

Estrella is coming off a 2023 season in which he played in two games. He also earned the coaching staff's Developmental Squad Offensive Players of the Week the week of the Ohio State game, as well as the Developmental Squad Special Teams Players of the Week for the season opener against West Virginia. This came after he took home these two awards a combined three times in 2022.

Now a redshirt junior, Estrella could compete for playing time on special teams this fall. Even if not, he should still be a key member of the team's developmental squad in practice once again.
