The reveal took place Saturday following Penn State’s senior game against Nebraska, marking the end of a long-standing tradition of secrecy surrounding the identity of the mascot. Penn State keeps the performer’s name confidential throughout their tenure, making the end-of-season unveiling a highly anticipated moment each year.
Reber, a Schuylkill County native, has spent the last three seasons representing the university at football games, major athletic events, community appearances, and campus traditions. His time as the Nittany Lion placed him at the center of some of the university’s largest stages, including roaring crowds at Beaver Stadium and high-profile events across the Commonwealth.
