Junior defensive tackle Ellison Jordan is no longer listed on Penn State football’s active roster.
On June 18, Jordan sent out a tweet announcing his intention to leave the team. However, he deleted the tweet later that afternoon, tweeting that he wasn’t transferring from the university. Jordan also went into detail about his knee injury that ended his 2018 season early and his mental health on a Periscope live stream that day.
The defensive tackle missed Penn State’s final 10 games last year due to injury.
During his Penn State career, Jordan made 11 tackles, including nine in the 2017 season. He recorded the first full sack of his career during the Nittany Lions’ 63-10 victory over Kent State in 2018.
According to a report by Lion247, Jordan joins senior safety John Petrishen as the second Nittany Lion possibly headed elsewhere prior to the start of training camp. Petrishen has reportedly entered the transfer portal but has not yet announced his intentions.
