Bobby Mears Rising at Penn State | Penn State Nittany Lions Football News

Penn State’s 2026 roster is getting a major overhaul with a fresh wave of transfers and recruits—fans better buckle up. Defensive end Bobby Mears, a 6’4”, 257-pound redshirt junior from West Chester, is one to watch. Though not a top recruit out of high school, he earned his spot as a three-year letterwinner and All-Eastern PA first-teamer at Malvern Prep, plus Academic All-Big Ten honors twice. He’s seen limited action in 2025 but earned developmental honors twice in 2024. With stars like Max Granville and Yvan Kemajou ahead of him, Mears is a deep reserve—but his work ethic and potential make him a sleeper to monitor closely.
