Numbers, stats set for Penn State football summer newcomers
The Penn State football program rolled out a host of new information to its fans Thursday night, drip-by-drip. Welcoming another six players into the fold last weekend, after three came in the first weekend in June, the Nittany Lions revealed jersey numbers and official height and weight check-ins for its newcomers in recent weeks.
The Tweets began in the early evening Thursday with the senior-most member of the program’s newcomers, sophomore transfer defensive end Demeioun ‘Chop’ Robinson. Listed at 6-foot-3, 240 pounds, Robinson will don No. 44 in his first season as a Nittany Lion.
His announcement was followed by safety Mekhi Flowers, who is listed at 6-foot, 185 pounds and will wear No. 10. He’ll share the jersey number with true freshman teammate, running back Nick Singleton.
Next up, offensive lineman Maleek McNeil will wear 73 and checked in at 6-foot-7, 355 pounds. The New York native was followed soon thereafter by Philadelphia linebacker Keon Wylie, who will wear No. 32 and is 6-foot-2, 200 pounds.
