Another member of Penn State’s team is deciding to move on to the NFL Draft.
On Monday, star defensive lineman Shaka Toney announced that he will not be back in 2021. That is not surprising as Toney has played four seasons for the Nittany Lions, but he will pass on the extra year of eligibility and enter the 2021 NFL Draft.
In a statement on Twitter, Toney said that his journey is complete:

During the 2020 season, Toney finished second on the Nittany Lions in TFL with 7.5 and led the team with 5.0 sacks. For his career, Toney finishes with 111 total tackles, 28.5 TFL, and 20.0 sacks.
Toney was among the most consistent performers on the team during his time in Happy Valley. He posted at least six TFL and three sacks every season with the Nittany Lions.
It will be interesting to see where he lands moving forward. He joins Jayson Oweh who is also entering the NFL Draft. Antonio Shelton will also not be back as he is looking to transfer for 2021.
