Only Lavar Arrington II Until Penn State Football

Lavar Arrington II committed to Penn State in July 2024 as a four-star recruit and one of the top linebacker prospects in the 2025 class. He had several power conference offers but ultimately decided to follow his dad’s footsteps and join the Nittany Lions. In his first season, he only appeared in seven games, with all of his playing time coming on special teams. With a year of development in the rearview mirror, there is optimism that he will become more of a factor on defense this season.

At 6’3”, 220 pounds, Arrington is currently listed as a defensive end on Penn State’s roster. Max Granville and Yvan Kemajou are likely to start at defensive end, but the position has more question marks than sure bets for Penn State this year. Arrington has a strong chance to see the field in a rotational role this season.

Only 11 more days until Penn State’s season opener against Marshall!
