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 TaโMere Robinson.
This shouldnโt come as much of a surprise.
Although Robinson never became a regular in his two seasons at Penn State, thereโs plenty of evidence to suggest heโs a Power Four player.
Robinson, a star at Pittsburghโs Brashear High School, was one of the top recruits in the country ย 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 didnโt cost him a chance to play at Penn State.
Unfortunately, Robinsonโs bad luck continued at the college level.
Injuries hindered him throughout his time at Penn State.
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 wasnโt the only Penn State defender to enter the portal. Defensive back Jon Mitchell, whoโs coming into his second season, has already committed to Georgia Tech.
