Kolin Dinkins brings size, versatility, and special-teams value to Penn State’s secondary
Dinkins is a 6-foot-2, 207-pound defensive back/safety who has already seen the field in college, including 13 games in the 2025 season at Penn State, where he recorded eight tackles, and he enters as a long, physical defender with enough athletic profile to fit multiple spots in the back end.[2][3][4] His game is less about gaudy stats and more about role flexibility, toughness, and depth value; the kind of player coaches like because he can help on special teams, compete in coverage, and grow into a reliable rotational piece.[1][4]
