Penn State football officially added 10 Class of 2025 signees and two transfers to its roster on Wednesday. The new Nittany Lions kicked off classes in State College back on Monday and are getting acclimated to life in and around the Lasch Building. One of the tasks they have already checked off their list is the proverbial “first day of school” photo with head coach James Franklin. You can see it above. Below is the lineup of players from left to right:

Front row: Receiver Trebor Pena, defensive back Jahmir Joseph, linebacker Amare Campbell, offensive lineman Malachi Goodman, and defensive lineman Cortez Harris

Back row: Receiver Jeff Exinor, defensive back Josh Johnson, cornerback Xxavier Thomas, offensive lineman Brady O’Hara, head coach James Franklin, tight end Matt Henderson, linebacker Cam Smith, and defensive lineman Chaz Coleman

This group of newcomers joins the rest of the Class of 2025 signees and transfers who arrived back in January for spring practice. The final two high school recruits, reclassified defensive lineman Daniel Jennings and running back Jabree Wallace-Coleman, will arrive later this summer.

Penn State June arrivals first height and weights

As Blue-White Illustrated reported on Wednesday morning, Pena checks in a bit shorter than his Syracuse bio listed him at. He’s on the Penn State roster at 5-foot-10, 185 pounds; the Orange had him at 6-foot, 184 pounds. Campbell’s 6-foot, 230-pound listing in State College mirrors his one as a Tar Heel.

As for the Class of 2025 signees, their heights and weights come straight from their National Signing Day bios, which were published six months ago, of course. New information on that group will come in the weeks ahead as they get going with the Nittany Lions. Here’s what Penn State currently lists for each as a reference:

Paramus, N.J. four-star offensive tackle Malachi Goodman: 6-foot-6, 310 pounds

Warren, Ohio four-star edge Chaz Coleman: 6-foot-4, 220 pounds

Montvale, N.J., four-star cornerback Jahmir Joseph: 6-foot, 180 pounds

Powhatan, Va., four-star tight end Matt Henderson: 6-foot-5, 215 pounds

Baltimore, Md., four-star receiver Jeff Exinor: 6-foot-1, 220 pounds

Salem, N.J., four-star linebacker Cam Smith: 6-foot, 200 pounds

Upper Marlboro, Md., three-star edge Cortez Harris: 6-foot-3, 205 pounds

Canonsburg, Pa., three-star cornerback Xxavier Thomas: 5-foot-11, 175 pounds
