Josiah Zayas: Dual-Threat Freshman | Penn State Nittany Lions Football News

Josiah Zayas, a six-foot-two, 190-pound defensive back from Piscataway, New Jersey, is poised to make waves at Penn State after flipping from Iowa State. A dual-threat standout in high school with 93 catches, 1,700+ yards, and 26 touchdowns offensively — plus 67 tackles, 5 for loss, and 9 interceptions defensively — he’s a rare two-way talent. Originally committed to Iowa State before being released, he now brings elite physical tools and explosive potential to the Big Ten. With Penn State ranked No. 18 in the preseason AP Poll and buzz building around its roster, Zayas’ transition to college football will be one to watch closely.
