STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Robbie Martin had yet to play a down in a game for the Nittany Lions, but the redshirt freshman offensive lineman announced Monday night he is walking away from the sport.

Martin, a three-star offensive tackle, was part of the scout team last year after enrolling and taking a redshirt as a freshman. With the spring semester wrapped up and the first summer session underway as of Monday, it makes sense that there would be some sort of roster turnover. By my countwithout Martin on scholarship, this would put Penn State at 86 scholarships. The Nittany Lions need to be down to 85 by the time camp starts in late July.

Penn State will have 15 other offensive linemen on scholarship without Martin and they include:

Chasz Wright

Sterling Jenkins

Steven Gonzalez

Ryan Bates

Connor McGovern

Alex Gellerstedt

Will Fries

Michal Menet

Michael Miranda

CJ Thorpe

Des Holmes

Bryce Effner

Frederick ‘Juice’ Scruggs

Nana Asiedu

Rasheed Walker

Penn State announced jersey numbers for the four May enrollees on Monday:

• QB Will Levis, 17

• TE Pat Freiermuth, 87

• DT Judge Culpepper, 88

• DT PJ Mustipher, 93
