UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Penn State's 2021 Pro Day, slated for Thursday, March 25, will be broadcasted live on B1G Network. Dave Revsine, Howard Griffith and Krystle Rich will have the call.
The broadcast is set to begin at 11 a.m. ET from Holuba Hall. Coverage of Penn State's eight Pro Day participants will carry for two hours, with the show concluding at 1 p.m. ET.
Six Penn State football players – TE Pat Freiermuth, OL Will Fries, OL Michal Menet, DE Jayson Oweh, LB Micah Parsons and DE Shaka Toney – each earned official invitations to the 2021 NFL Combine. The Nittany Lions have had 26 NFL Combine participants in the last four years with eight athletes in 2018, seven in 2019 and five in 2020.
The combine this year is virtual under current COVID-19 health and safety protocols, but the NFL still released a full list of invitees. All six players will participate in Pro Day along with S Lamont Wade and OL Steven Gonzalez.
Penn State Football will broadcast a Pro Day Live Show with Mitch Gerber hosting, which will continue coverage following B1G Network's broadcast. The show can be viewed on Twitter or Facebook Live.
