Measurables: 6’0″ / 200 lbs.

Year: Redshirt Senior

Expected Role: Backup Cornerback

[autotag]Storm Duck[/autotag] is transferring in from North Carolina where he had a productive season last year. He recorded 46 total tackles, 9 passes defended and three interceptions. His 68.0 PFF grade ranked 453rd out of 916 corners.

This is great experience and production for Penn State to add through the portal. Duck is a proven player, earning second-team All-ACC last year. The major concerns surrounding him are his health as he’s battle injury for a couple of seasons in his career. Duck and Dixon are expected to battle it out for the starting cornerback spot this offseason.
