Advanced Scouting: Penn State targets a familiar type of defensive lineman in the transfer portal

After several seasons of familiar faces up front, the Penn State defensive line will look very different in 2025. Gone are long-time defensive linemen D'von J-Thomas, Hakeem Beamon (already gone), and potentially Zane Durant, just to name a few. But who will replace them? With a new commitment to winning and an ability to be competitive in NIL, Penn State football will be active in the portal in key positions to help the team reload for another run at a College Football Playoff berth next year.
