Penn State football officially adds newcomers to roster; what are their heights and weights?
Penn State football welcomed numerous newcomers to the team at the start of the summer semester. Now, they’re all officially on the roster.
The Lions listed the first height and weight information for five transfers and a handful of Class of 2023 signees on Monday. None of the players have jersey number assignments yet. That will come in time. But, each is a step closer to being ready for preseason camp.

Of the five transfers who joined the program last week, three are on scholarship and one is a walk-on. We’ll start with the latter player first. It’s former Duke offensive lineman Addison Penn.
