Penn State searched the transfer portal during the offseason for defensive tackle depth help, and as spring came to close, it landed 6-foot-2, 287-pound Alonzo Ford out of Old Dominion. He put up 5 TFLs and 3.5 sacks as a true sophomore for the Monarchs, and was expected to push for rotation snaps in Happy Valley. Unfortunately for Ford and the Nittany Lions, that won’t be the case in 2023 as Sean Fitz of BWI is reporting that Ford will be out for the season due to injury.
Penn State will be without Old Dominion transfer DT Alonzo Ford Jr.
