Former Penn State football linebacker Dominic DeLuca is signing with the Baltimore Ravens as an undrafted free agent, per USA Today’s Arye Pulli.

DeLuca was a walk-on at Penn State despite finishing high school with a torn ACL. He spent five total years in Happy Valley before declaring for the 2026 NFL Draft. His freshman season was slow, as he only stepped in three games and had zero tackles. His second year was much more prominent, playing in 13 games and recording 29 tackles, two tackles-for-loss, and a sack.

He was then awarded a scholarship in 2023 and improved in his third year with 29 tackles, 4.5 tackles-for-loss, one sack, two forced fumbles, and two interceptions, one of which returned for a touchdown. In his fourth year, he redshirted and was selected to be a captain. He had a season to remember, recording 40 tackles, four tackles-for-loss, and three interceptions.

In his last year as a Nittany Lion, DeLuca played every game and had 66 tackles, seven tackles-for-loss, and two sacks.

DeLuca will join Vega Ioane and Nick Dawkins in Baltimore.
