Penn State defender Tyrece Mills is no longer with the Nittany Lions
Penn State veteran safety Tyrece Mills is no longer part of the Nittany Lions’ program. It was not immediately clear if he is going into the NCAA transfer portal or moving on to try and make the NFL. Mills did have a year of eligibility remaining if he wanted to use it. Clearly, he did not want to do so with the Lions.
Mills came to State College from Lackawanna College. He had 17 tackles over two seasons and recorded an interception in 2024. He also played special teams, and is the latest Nittany Lion to hit the portal.
