When is the last day for a transfer to occur? Signed paperwork , destination school declared.

I think he is the type of depth LBer PSU needs. Since PSU offered, I wonder if he is visiting today for Blue/White game?

Get him a cone of Berkey Brickle, and he’s ours.

What do think Tom, will PSU pursue him; if so, could they get medical opinions before offering?

Hopefully he becomes a starter and improves his draft status for 2026.. He was an unselfish player at PSU.

Pursue him? Hmm, I'm not sure. CJF certainly made it clear in today's PC after the Blue-White game that they are looking for one (or more) LB in the portal. They have a connection with him in that his brother is on PSU's team, which is a positive.

As for medical opinions before offering, I don't know what the rules are for guys in the portal, in terms of what type of testing they are allowed to do. That's a good question -- sorry I don't know the answer.

What was the deal with Robinson’s quick exit? It sure seemed like he was in line for a lot more playing time this year at LB.

I addressed that earlier in the thread (I think) ... basically, the projections at the time he entered the portal were that headed into preseason practice he's be 4th or 5th in the rotation at LB. With the injuries he'd been through, that was pretty good. But, it seemed (he hasn't specifically said, that I've seen) that he was looking for more playing time.

Thank you for the reply.

I might have asked this before. Any interest in LB Amare Campbell from NC? He's from VA which isn't too far from State College.

Part of why I post about this or that player entering the portal is so that we can imagine, speculate, debate, etc. about whether they'd be a good addition to PSU, whether PSU would be interested, etc. There is a lot of cat-and-mouse in portal recruiting, and while I post about PSU's interests when we know for sure (from various sources), it's not always easy to learn about whether or not there is mutual interest.

Fortunately, in this case, an answer to your question was posted earlier this afternoon:

PSU offered this LB from Ohio University, but he's opted to go elsewhere

@DaytonRickster -- I got a clarification. PSU can do a medical evaluation on his knee, and then decide what they want to do once they have that information.
