Currently on campus for Penn State is LSU defensive tackle transfer Jay'viar Scruggs. Scruggs is a defensive tackle that Happy Valley Insider recently identified as a potential player to watch at the position.

This upcoming offseason, the Nittany Lions will say goodbye to both Dvon J-Thomas and Coziah Izzard. They have already seen senior Hakeem Beamon depart the program in November.
