Jackson Pryts is a depth linebacker with special-teams value at Penn State
Pryts enters the 2026 cycle as an active Penn State linebacker who has mostly been a developmental piece, appearing in one game in 2024 after a redshirt in 2022 and no game action in 2023.[1][3][7] His appeal is less about box-score production and more about versatility, effort, and football pedigree: he was a four-year high-school letterman, a team captain, and a 3A all-state selection who piled up 113 tackles as a senior.[1] Penn State also used him on developmental-squad award lists, a sign the staff sees practice value and special-teams potential.[1]
