Penn State Football Linebacker Dom Deluca Declares For NFL Draft
Penn State football linebacker Dom Deluca has declared for the 2026 NFL Draft, he announced on Instagram. He joined the team as a walk-on in 2021 and has been named team captain three times since.
Deluca played in 56 games over his five seasons with the Nittany Lions, starting in just 13 of them. In 2021, the West Pittston, Pennsylvania, native played in just three games and redshirted; he has played in at least 13 in every season since then.
The linebacker finished his Penn State career with 161 total tackles, 16.5 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, and five interceptions. 2025 has undoubtedly been his best season as he has started in every game since Tony Rojas’ injury.
Deluca is the seventh Nittany Lion to declare for the 2026 NFL Draft since the Rutgers game.
