Penn State rising redshirt sophomore linebacker Troy Reeder will transfer, sources have informed Lions247. The Wilmington (Del.) Salesianum grad will transfer to Delaware and is eligible to play immediately. Reeder’s father, Dan, played for the Blue Hens and his younger brother Colby Reeder committed to the program last week.

Reeder started 11 games for Penn State as a redshirt freshman, taking over for Jason Cabinda at the Will position when Cabinda moved inside to replace an injured Nyeem Wartman-White in the season opener. Reeder finished fourth on the team in tackles with 67 this season, including a team-high 11 in a win over Maryland. He had 5.5 tackles for loss on the year and had an interception against Illinois.

The 6-foot-1, 241-pound Reeder was selected to ESPN.com’s All-Rookie Team in the Big Ten in December and earned Academic All-District honors in the fall.

Penn State returns Cabinda, Wartman-White and Brandon Bell as expected starters at linebacker next season.
