Curtis Jacobs offered some final thoughts to Penn State fans in what will be his last game as a Nittany Lion, as he declared for the 2024 NFL Draft.

Penn State will have Jacobs for the Peach Bowl against Ole Miss. The 2 programs have never met in football before.

Jacobs accounted for 169 total tackles, 23 tackles for loss, 9.5 sacks, and 2 interceptions over the last 4 seasons with Penn State. Here’s what he had to say to the fans:

“I want to start by thanking my family and all who have supported me through this long journey. I’ve dedicated my life to this game and the consistent love and support from you is what fuels me every day as I continue,” said Jacobs. “With that being said, I will be declaring for the 2024 NFL Draft. I am excited to be embarking on this new opportunity and fulfilling a lifelong dream. I am excited to compete with my brothers one last time the Peach Bowl in Atlanta.”

Penn State finished the regular season with 10 wins for the 2nd year in a row. The Nittany Lions could also have consecutive 11-win seasons if they beat the Rebels in Atlanta.

Kickoff from the Peach Bowl will be on Dec. 30 at noon ET on ESPN/ESPN+.
