Penn State cast a line into the transfer waters and landed itself a much-needed defensive end from within the Big Ten East. [autotag]Demeioun Robinson[/autotag] officially announced his commitment to joining the Penn State program with a graphic shared on his Twitter account on Tuesday afternoon.
Robinson, now formerly of Maryland, will be among the likely candidates to attempt to fill the shoes left behind Penn State’s last big defensive end transfer addition, [autotag]Arnold Ebiketie[/autotag]. Like Ebiketie before him, Robinson already comes to Penn State having shown some promise as an important piece in the defensive gameplan moving forward, although Ebikeiete was a more seasoned addition through the transfer portal.
Robinson was a four-star recruit of Maryland in the Class of 2021, and a recruiting target Penn State had their eyes on from early on as well. Robinson entered the transfer portal at the end of March, and Penn State quickly jumped into the mix with a visit in the past week. Clearly, that visit went well.
Robinson is the third addition to the Penn State roster this offseason. Penn State previously added wide receiver [autotag]Mitchell Tinsley[/autotag] from Western Kentucky and offensive lineman [autotag]Hunter Nourzad[/autotag] from Cornell. Robinson will join Penn State in the summer, but he could quickly find himself in the mix to have a vital role on the defensive line.
Heda coach [autotag]James Franklin[/autotag] has made note recently on how Penn State is aiming to have more success through the transfer portal. So far this offseason, things have gone pretty well for the Nittany Lions, and there could still be more to come.
