Theo Johnson will turn pro in 2024 and forego the remainder of his eligibility at Penn State.

The talented tight end has been with the Nittany Lions for the past 4 seasons. His career includes back-to-back campaigns of 300+ yards and 4+ touchdowns.

However, Johnson’s career with the Nittany Lions isn’t over quite yet. He also announced Friday that he intends to play in the Peach Bowl against Ole Miss to cap off the 2023 season.

“After a lot of thought and prayer, I will be declaring for the 2024 NFL Draft,” Johnson wrote in-part. “I cannot wait to be with my Penn State Football family one last time when we compete at the Peach Bowl.”

Johnson caught 32 passes for 325 yards and 6 touchdowns this season. He’s already set career-highs in receptions and touchdowns on the year and is just 4 yards shy of setting a new high-water mark in receiving yards for a single season.

Johnson and the Nittany Lions will face off against Ole Miss in the Peach Bowl on Dec. 30.
