Digest more
Penn State landed its first official transfers — from Iowa State, of course — on Day 2 of the transfer portal window, during which the Nittany Lions retained more key players while losing a promising freshman. Tight end and cornerback were major positions impacted on the day.
Mack is one of several front-line Penn State players who plan to transfer, joining quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer, offensive lineman T.J. Shanahan, tight end Luke Reynolds, defensive ends Zuriah Fisher, Jaylen Harvey and Chaz Coleman, defensive tackle Xavier Gilliam, linebacker Keon Wylie and cornerbacks A.J. Harris and Elliot Washington II.
The Penn State Nittany Lions have lost a sought-after five-star player to the transfer portal, leaving new coach Matt Campbell with a hole.
Several Nittany Lions have announced plans to return, notably tight end Andrew Rappleyea and offensive lineman Anthony Donkoh. A two-year starter on the line, Donkoh will be Penn State's most experienced returning player. He can play tackle or guard and will be among Penn State's top NFL prospects in 2027.
