Dominic Rulli’s Rise at Penn State | Penn State Nittany Lions Football News

Dominic Rulli’s journey from walk-on to Penn State football standout is a tale of grit and growth—he earned his scholarship in 2025 after three years of grinding, played in 42 games mostly on special teams, and etched his name in history with a clutch fake punt call and block against Minnesota in 2024 that propelled Penn State to the College Football Playoff. This season, he started at center in the Pinstripe Bowl and is now in a fierce battle with transfer Brock Riker for the starting center spot amid a revamped offensive line. Even if he doesn’t win the starting job, his versatility and experience ensure he’ll remain a key rotational player. With just 52 days until the season opener against Marshall, Rulli is a player to watch as Penn State gears up for another run.
