Penn State Counts Down to Season Opener as Anthony Donkoh Returns to Full Health

The offensive line’s key piece aims to anchor the lineup for the upcoming campaign.

Penn State is counting down the days until it finally takes the field for its 2025 football season, with the first showdown scheduled in exactly 68 days against Marshall at Beaver Stadium.

A Comeback Story

Anthony Donkoh, the talented offensive lineman who earned all‑conference honors as a freshman, has been working his way back from a late‑season injury that sidelined him for the Big Ten title game and the playoff run.

After a rigorous rehabilitation, Donkoh is now fully healthy and eager to reclaim his spot in the starting lineup, aiming to be ready from the opening kickoff.

In 2025 he appeared in all 13 games, making 11 starts at right tackle, helping the Lions finish 7‑6 and cap the year with a Pinstripe Bowl victory.

Coaches and teammates alike expect his presence to anchor an offensive line that returns several key pieces, including standout performers from both Penn State and Iowa State.

The excitement around the program is palpable, as fans anticipate a season that could build on the momentum of last year’s bowl win.
