Texas State transfer who started 12 games at center in 2025. Riker started Penn State’s first four games of 2026, through Wisconsin; later availability and lineup placement require a fresh game-week source.
Brock Riker joined Penn State from Texas State after starting 12 games at center there in 2025. Penn State’s biography credits him with zero sacks allowed in 438 pass-blocking snaps that season and notes second-team Freshman All-America recognition from The Athletic. Those figures belong to his Texas State season, not his Penn State games.
Riker started Penn State’s first four games of 2026, according to the school’s player biography. The Wisconsin start came after a late-September health question; Matt Campbell said before that game that Riker had practiced and was in a good position to play. His actual start is a stronger historical marker than the earlier questionable status.
The four starts show that Riker had moved into the early Penn State line. They do not by themselves establish his health or starting assignment for USC. New game-week reports and the actual lineup should determine any update beyond the Wisconsin snapshot.
