Devin Fentress Class: Junior Hometown: Chesapeake, Va. High School: Western Branch Height / Weight: 5-10 / 179 Position: CB Experience: SR H.S. Coach: Lew Johnston

Developing depth and future playmakers will be an important consideration for the wide receiver unit this fall, as seniors Deon Butler, Jordan Norwood and Derrick Williams enter their final season. The coaching staff likes the quickness and athleticism Devin Fentress has exhibited as a cornerback and on special teams and moved him to wideout last spring. He worked hard and made good progress during the 15 spring sessions and will enter preseason camp with an opportunity to become a regular in the wideout rotation. Fentress was a sprinter on the Penn State indoor track and field team in 2007. He owned a 3.30 grade-point average through the spring semester and is a potential Academic All-Big Ten candidate. He is one of five returning Nittany Lions from Virginia and joins redshirt freshman Chima Okoli in the long line of Penn Staters from the Tidewater Region.

2007 Junior Season
Fentress saw action on defense and special teams in nine games, with most of his playing time coming against Florida International and Indiana. He made three solo tackles, with stops in the wins over Florida International, Buffalo and Indiana.

2006 Sophomore Season
Redshirt season. He was a sprinter on the Penn State indoor track and field team during the 2006-07 campaign.

2005 Freshman Season
Fentress appeared on his way to a redshirt year, but the season-ending injury to Derrick Williams against Michigan provided an opportunity for the freshman. He assumed Justin King's reserve role at cornerback, while King focused on offense after playing both ways until Williams was sidelined. Fentress saw his first collegiate action in the big win at Illinois, recording three solo tackles and a pass breakup on 31 snaps.

High School
Fentress was a standout in football and track and field at Western Branch HS. A three-year starter for Coach Lew Johnston as a running back and cornerback, the versatile athlete earned all-district, All-Tidewater and all-region honors in football and track. As a senior in 2004, he had 85 carries for 810 yards and nine touchdowns and grabbed a pair of interceptions. Fentress helped guide WBHS to three district tiles and played in the 2005 Virginia High School Coaches' Association All-Star game. He finished second in the 200 meters at the 2005 state track and field championships.
