Penn State wide receiver Trebor Peña hitting the road for a couple of Top-30 visits ahead of the NFL Draft
Penn State's Pro Day last week opened some doors for some of the other guys who are draft eligible this year.
The headliners are ultimately going to be fine in Vega Ioane, Drew Allar, Nick Singleton, and Kaytron Allen. The rest of the guys may not be as safe.
For as bad as Penn State's season went last year, a lot of the guys have had their draft stock plummet, including the guys at the top of the draft. There is work to be done, and Wednesday's Pro Day was one of the days that the other draft-eligible players needed to make their mark.
One of those guys who took full advantage of that was wide receiver Trebor Peña.
Peña is a sixth-year senior who spent his first five years as a member of the Syracuse Orange. His time in central New York was up and down, to say the least.
He had one solid year, and it was his fifth year in the program. In 2024, he notched 84 catches for 941 yards and nine total touchdowns. That was his so long to the Orange as he hit the road to go and chase a National Championship at Penn State.
The season didn't go as planned for the team, but it ended up being decent for Peña. He registered 49 catches for 552 yards and two scores through the air. On the ground, he carried the ball 12 times for 72 yards.
The dual-threat guy had a very solid day testing in front of all of the college scouts in attendance in Happy Valley on Wednesday.
Peña clocked a 4.47 forty-yard dash, a 35.5" vertical jump, 4.06 shuttle, and 19 reps on the bench press.
After his workout, he scheduled pre-draft visits with the Jets, Giants, Ravens, and the Philadelphia Eagles.
Standing at just 5'10 and weighing in at 187 pounds, Peña is going to be required to be a versatile player at the next level. He certainly is not going to be able to just play wide receiver. He will have to contribute on offense and all over special teams.
His speed gives him the opportunity to be a factor on all three phases of specials, from kickoff to kick return, and to both punt and punt return. It's a tough reality, but he is going to have to be a contributor in the special teams phase if he wants to stick around in the NFL.
Peña's stock is on the rise, and hopefully that means he will hear his name called during the NFL Draft at the end of April.
