Penn State’s player list for the Senior Bowl is growing.
Jordan Stout, the Nittany Lions’ first-team All-Big Ten punter, accepted an invite to the all-star showcase on Thursday.
Six Penn State players have accepted invitations — Stout, wide receiver Jahan Dotson, safety Jaquan Brisker, cornerback Tariq Castro-Fields, linebacker-end Jesse Luketa and defensive lineman Arnold Ebiketie.
The Senior Bowl will be held Feb. 5 in Mobile, Ala. and the NFL Network will televise the contest. The players will spend the week practicing and talking with NFL talent evaluators and staffers before playing in the game.
Stout, a transfer from Virginia Tech, was named the Big Ten Punter of the Year earlier this week, becoming the first Lions’ punter to earn the award.
Stout handled punts, kickoffs, field-goal tries and extra-point attempts for Penn State. He averaged 46.55 yards per punt with 25 punts of 50 or more yards. Stout also placed 34 of his 62 punts inside the 20.
