The point guard averaged 13.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 5.0 steals per game in the Nittany Lions’ two wins over the past week. Mingo tied a program record with eight steals in Saturday’s win over Sacred Heart. He added 14 points, four rebounds, four assists, and two steals in a shootout win over Boston University last Tuesday.
The Farmingdale, New York, native is Penn State’s highest-rated recruit in program history and has been living up to his talent through the Nittany Lions’ 7-1 start to the 2025-26 season.
The blue and white are back in action at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, December 2, against Campbell.
