Dwayne Stephens Joins Penn State Staff

Dwayne Stephens, a Penn State basketball alum and longtime Michigan State assistant, is back home as a new assistant coach under Mike Rhoades. With nearly two decades at Michigan State, where he helped build NCAA tournament and Final Four teams and developed NBA talent, Stephens brings elite coaching experience and deep program knowledge. His brother played for Penn State, making this a true homecoming, and he’s thrilled by the community’s pride and unique college-town vibe. After leading Western Michigan for four seasons — even with a tough record — he’s gained invaluable insight into the pressures of head coaching. Now, he’s laser-focused on modern recruiting, embracing NIL and the transfer portal to find the right players for Penn State’s future.
