Penn State tight end Mega Barnwell removed from roster

Penn State removes tight end from football roster

After signing with Penn State in the Class of 2023, freshman tight end [autotag]Mega Barnwell[/autotag] is no longer a member of the football program. On Monday, Barnwell was removed from the team’s online roster as multiple reports surfaced to confirm his sudden departure from the program.

Barnwell’s recruiting process included committing to Penn State twice with a de-commitment in the middle, but he ended up enrolling early to join the program this past spring. Recruited as an athlete who could play multiple positions, Penn State head coach James Franklin mentioned Barnwell would be utilized as a tight end.

It is unknown why Barnwell was removed from the roster or what comes next for the young student-athlete at this time. However, we will keep an eye on his next steps as he moves forward.

Barnwell, a four-star recruit according to the 247Sports composite rankings in the Class of 2023, committed to Penn State over offers from Ohio State, Notre Dame, Tennessee, West Virginia, Oregon, and more.

Penn State’s tight end position group still looks to be in good shape for the upcoming season despite this loss on the roster. Theo Johnson and Tyler Warren each return and figure to be the top combo at the position following the NFL departure of Brenton Strange. The Nittany Lions also have younger options on the depth chart with redshirt sophomore Khalil Dinkins, redshirt freshman Jerry Cross, and freshman Joey Schlaffer.

Penn State football locks in Class of 2023

Here is every player Penn State has announced in its Class of 2023.

Penn State’s start to the early signing period on Wednesday ended with the official signing of 22 members of its Class of 2023. The recruiting class is one balanced with offense and defense and will add some terrific quality and depth on the line of scrimmage a year after addressing some skill positions in the Class of 2022. And while the latest recruiting class didn’t necessarily go off without a mild bump in the road on the first day of the early signing period, it is getting head coach James Franklin excited about the program’s future.

Penn State made sure to sign some of the top players from in the state but also did some solid work beyond the state’s borders. This was especially true in Virginia as the Nittany Lions kicked the class off with the first commitment on the board from Virginia offensive lineman [autotag]Alex Birchmeier[/autotag] and continued to add help from the state right up until the final days of the recruiting efforts before the early signing period opened. In all, Penn State added players from nine different states ranging from Alabama to New York.

Here is the full rundown of the confirmed additions to the Penn State program in the Class of 2023.
