WR
Senior (NFL Draft)
Former Penn State receiver in the 2026 pro evaluation cycle. Ross brought verified Troy production into the 2025 offense, but he should not be listed as a current 2026 Penn State depth-chart receiver.
Devonte Ross should be treated as a former Penn State receiver in current 2026 depth-chart work, not as a returning roster piece. He transferred from Troy and gave Penn State a veteran receiving option during the 2025 season before moving into the 2026 pro evaluation cycle.
His Troy background was substantial. Penn State's official 2025 bio credits him with first-team All-Sun Belt honors as a receiver and all-purpose player in 2024, plus a 76-catch, 1,043-yard season with 11 receiving touchdowns. That history explains why he mattered immediately in a Penn State passing game that needed proven transfer production.
For this site, Ross is best used as a bridge between the 2025 offense and the 2026 roster reset. His profile remains useful for archive and Pro Day context, but the current wide receiver room should be evaluated around players still on the 2026 roster.
Devonte Ross finished the 2025 season with 36 catches, 501 yards, and five touchdowns, giving Penn State a steady receiving option through a chaotic year.
