Penn State redshirt junior linebacker Kobe King will not be joining several of his teammates in returning in 2025.

Worth mentioning he did not thank Tom Allen in his announcement.

 

[LandoComando]

Very nice career--rough couple moments in the last couple games but overall he was very productive
Hopefully he gets drafted sooner than his brother

Kind of seemed to go out of his way to not bring his name up as well.
Regardless, wish him the best.

As much good news as we got recently, this one hurts a lot. Huge loss.

Hmmm, there goes our only solid run defender linebacker.

 

[dukecorey]

Darn another one that stings, really wanted him back for one more year. Penn State really has to hit the portal for LB and definitely receiver now.

Now finding a starting MLB via the portal becomes critical.

 

[PSUcup1]

I’m a bit surprised by this one. But best of luck to him. Thx for a great career

Dom might get moved to MLB. We have a lot of young talent waiting in the wings at OLB. I really like the potential of TaMere Robinson and Anthony Speca.

Too bad Trotter committed elsewhere. Probably too late to flip.

The only solid tackler in general out of the LBs.

Tony Rojas had a 22.2% missed tackle rate, 9th worst for Power 4 LBs. His 31.4% missed tackle rate vs the run was worst out of all Power 4 LBs.

Dominic Deluca had a 26.2% missed tackle rate, 3rd worst for all Power 4 LBs.

Did we have any interest in Trotter?

When you net it all together, it was a great retention effort, but King certainly does hurt.

 

[PurposePitch]

I'd trade Allen for Kobe King and Wallace.

King could have used another year in college getting slimmer and quicker and we could really use him.

 

[PurposePitch]

Maybe the next headline we see is "Kaytron Allen moving to MLB."

Not good.

Agree, I think those two can handle the role

Dom is too small to play MLB. He be run over.

I don’t think we offered for whatever reason.

Kari Jackson is probably most similar to King but...
Rojas definitely isn't playing that role

Yep. Not sure why some believe every starter that leaves needs to be replaced by someone from the transfer portal. Wylie has had some good moments as well but hasn't seemed to stay healthy enough. Would be great for one of the younger PSU LB's to step up and replace KK.

What was or is Wylie's injury? It was indicated that he potentially could have returned later in the season. Could he potentially start next season?
