Gavin McKenna, an 18-year-old forward for Penn State and a top prospect for the 2026 NHL Draft, has been charged with felony aggravated assault following an alleged altercation at a bar in State College, Pennsylvania. The incident occurred Saturday night after Penn State's outdoor game against Michigan State, where McKenna recorded a goal and two assists. If convicted, he could face up to 20 years in prison.
Japanese right-hander Genei Sato, previously reported to be planning a U.S. college transfer, has committed to Penn State University. The Nittany Lions announced the move Monday, allowing him to pursue the 2027 MLB Draft directly without the NPB posting system.
