A former Penn State defender who recently entered the transfer portal is projected to stay in the Big Ten.
Per Steve Wiltfong of On3Sports, USC is the favorite to land former Penn State LB Ta’Mere Robinson.
This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise.
Although Robinson never became a regular in his two seasons at Penn State, there’s plenty of evidence to suggest he’s a Power Four player.
Robinson, a star at Pittsburgh’s Brashear High School, was one of the top recruits in the country before suffering a serious injury in the middle of his junior season. That injury ended up costing him the rest of his high school career but didn’t cost him a chance to play at Penn State.
Unfortunately, Robinson’s bad luck continued at the college level.

Coming into the 2025 season, many felt Robinson had a shot at the MIKE linebacker position which has been vacant since Kobe King declared for the Draft in January.
But the fact that Robinson entered the transfer portal the day the spring window opened suggests that Penn State has other plans at that position.
Robinson wasn’t the only Penn State defender to enter the portal. Defensive back Jon Mitchell, who’s coming into his second season, has already committed to Georgia Tech.
