Dotson is the fourth Nittany Lion to announce he'll skip the bowl game and prepare for the 2022 NFL Draft.

"I've been waiting for this all my life, and I can't wait to see what the future holds," Brisker said in a statement. "I will always be a Nittany Lion!"

"The health and safety of our student-athletes, coaches, staff and the broader community are of the utmost importance," the team said in a statement.

"This decision was not easy to make. Playing in the NFL has been my lifelong goal and dream, but right now, I think it's important for me to finish what I started."

Christmas presents came a little early for Penn State football fans this year.
