The 6-1 receiver was not with the team during preseason camp. Asked about Dunmore earlier this month, head coach James Franklin said, "One day at a time with things like this. I can't predict what the future holds."

Dunmore, a redshirt freshman, played in one game last season. He was among two Florida receivers in the 2019 recruiting class along with T.J. Jones.

Dunmore was a national top-100 prospect according to Rivals and among the top receivers in Florida. At Chaminade-Madonna High, Dunmore was a three-time captain who caught 53 passes as a senior. He helped Chaminade-Madonna to two Florida Class 3A state titles.

Dameon Jones, the head coach at Chaminade-Madonna High, said Dunmore was an "absolute game-changer."

Penn State hosts No. 3 Ohio State on Saturday at Beaver Stadium. The game will be televised on ABC. ESPN College GameDay will be in State College.
