Donkoh is coming off his redshirt freshman season and started 10 games for the Nittany Lions. He played mostly at right tackle but brings some versatility to the offensive line. The return of Donkoh comes a day after Cooper Cousins announced his own decision to return to Penn State in 2026, assuring the new coaching staff some reliable starting experience on the line going into next season.

"I have full confidence in Coach Campbell, [offensive line coach Ryan Clanton] and the rest of the staff, and I believe they will help restore Penn State's tradition of excellence while continuing to support my growth to the man that God has called me to be," Donkoh added in his announcement post.
