Will Tompkins

Will Tompkins is a redshirt-freshman offensive lineman who came from Iowa State to Penn State with Matt Campbell's staff. His 2026 profile changed materially after the season began: he is out for the rest of the season, so a current depth-chart discussion should not list him as available competition.

Penn State's official player page lists two appearances before the injury. On September 23, independent Penn State beat reports said Tompkins would miss the rest of 2026. That makes his early game participation a small historical sample, not a basis for projecting a larger offensive-line role this fall.

Tompkins remains relevant to the program's longer-term line depth because he has eligibility left and familiarity with the coaching system. The public information available now does not establish a recovery date or future starting position. This profile therefore separates his roster listing and early appearances from his current unavailability.
