The Flower Mound, Texas, native came to Penn State as a cornerback before redshirting last year and transitioning to the wide receiver position prior to the 2023 season.

Driver was mainly used on special teams this season but recorded one reception for eight yards during the Nittany Lions’ matchup with Delaware. Driver appeared in four games for the blue and white this season.

Penn State’s wide receivers faced criticism toward the end of the year after the group struggled to create separation and establish a playmaker at the position. Driver didn’t see the field much and wasn’t a feature in the rotation.
