The newest Nittany Lion has been announced.

Former Grand Canyon setter Jaxon Herr announced his intentions to commit to Penn State last week, with the team confirming the addition on X on Sunday.

In three years at Grand Canyon, Herr played in 51 matches for the Antelopes. The Anthem, Arizona native tallied 770 assists, 146 digs, 54 total blocks, and 30 kills last season.

Herr, a rising senior, will join a crowded room of setters. The room consists of Michael Schwob, Josh Rosenblum, and Jake Tidik.
