At 6-foot-2 and 215-pounds, Littlejohn is ranked as an edge rusher, but projects best as a linebacker at the next level.
As a junior in 2024, Littlejohn finished the season with 84 total tackles (57 solo), 26.0 tackles for loss, 14.0 sacks, 24 quarterback hurries, and two pass deflections.
In the end, Littlejohn chose the Nittany Lions over 26 other offers from programs such as Alabama, Auburn, Colorado, Georgia Tech, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisville, Miami, Michigan, Ole Miss, North Carolina, NC State, Ohio State, Tennessee, Texas A&M and several others.
With this addition, Littlejohn becomes the third linebacker for the Nittany Lions in this 2026 class, joining Terry Wiggins from Pennsylvania and Mathieu Lamah from Virginia.
