Penn State football defensive tackle Armstrong Nnodim is listed as a game time decision against No. 19 USC in the White Out, per the Big Ten gameday availability report. He was upgraded from questionable to probable on the Friday availability report.

Nnodim has established himself as a solid contributor on Penn State’s defensive front, registering eight total tackles and a tackle-for-loss so far this season. If the Nittany Lions’ record of game time decisions in 2026 is an indicator, Nnodim should see some action on the field against the Trojans.

Linebacker Alex Tatsch was the only other player questionable heading into the week, but he was downgraded to out on Friday. He already missed Penn State’s first two games of the season.

Other players that will miss action against the Trojans in the White Out include wide receiver Koby Howard, defensive ends Lavar Arrington II, Max Granville, Mason Robinson, and Dayshaun Burnett, cornerbacks Joshua Johnson, Christian Askew, and Tyler Armstead, linebacker Cam Smith, offensive lineman Will Tompkins, tight end Cooper Alexander, and kicker Cristiano Rosa.
