QB Will Levis is headed to the SEC.

We're going to just keep this list running as a one-stop shop for Penn State's personnel as the offseason officially begins.

That's guys coming back, guys not, guys going pro, transfers out, transfers in. We'll have the latest at the top working backwards. So far, Pat Freiermuth and Shane Simmons. Many, many more to come.

 

[kentuckycb]

Excellent addition! Thank you!

 

[tgar]

Best of luck to both those guys! Thank you!

Also, great feature, thanks.

 

[SJLuvsLions]

Shane Simmons = Class Personified!!! I hope he does very well in life. He is one High-Character young man.

Expect this to be quite the list this year.

Am I the only one who noticed Coach Scott wasn’t thanked? I know it was only one year but still found it interesting but maybe I’m just making something out of nothing.

Well maybe but I look at it this way. Shane has been in the program for 4-5 years right? He wasn't his line coach for 4.5 of those years and with all the limited contact and being a role player I wonder how much contact he even had with him, other than the zoom classes of course. So you might be reading a little more into it than exists but then I'm guessing too.

Just said the same thing. He’s very well spoken, he will do very well in the business world. I would hire him in a heartbeat.

How do you navigate the World Wide Web without clicking the things you want to see?

I mean, you could shout at your phone I guess.

Like it Nate

But you should also do a spreadsheet to classify by grade and position !

[PhillipintheValley]

I have a suggestion, can we keep this thread to news on personnel moves and have discussion about things posted here in separate threads. Keep this thread clean, so when there’s a new post we know it’s meaningful.

@Nate Bauer/BWI Staff Is Lamont Wade Grad-Transferring?

@Nate Bauer/BWI Staff Is Lamont Wade Grad-Transferring?

I would be stunned if he isn’t going to take a crack at the NFL.

@Nate Bauer/BWI Staff Is Lamont Wade Grad-Transferring?

He was referring to Temple and their mass exodus.

PSU has been in contact with former target CB MJ Devonshire from Aliquippa i think he was a 2019 recruit. Looking to transfer from Kentucky

 

[ptomaselli]

This sucks. I was hoping he'd work out. I guess both Beamon AND Ellies have passed him. I expected Hawkins more than Culpepper.

I agree. Hawkins to me is such an enigma.

Maybe Aeneas just likes it at PSU. That's happened before too.

Please keep this thread for posts announcing moves. If you want to discuss something posted here, create a separate thread. Thanks.

No.

No.

Boo.

If I recall correctly, his dad was a coach (can't recall if head or assistant) on the 'Quips staff. Marlin also ran track, and I believe he was a PIAA State Champion a few times.

This surprises me and makes me wonder if one or more young CBs are expected to leave. On the surface we appear to have plenty of CBs: Ellis, Porter, Wilson, Hardy, King, Davis, Johnson, and maybe TCF and/or Donovan Johnson.

 

[Nihilist Rodgers]

@WTNuke has been traded to Wisconsin-Whitewater.. PSU threw in tickets to CATS to finalize the deal.

Isn’t Devonshire a safety?

 

[BWI PHIL GROSZ]

I agree. Hawkins to me is such an enigma.

That is exactly what I said in my football chat posted here in the Lions den yesterday. Both Rs.Fr. DT Hakeem Beamon [6-3, 298] and Rs.Fr. DT Dvon Ellies [6-1, 301] have moved ahead of Judge Culpepper [6-4, 292] at the 3-technique DT position on the defensive line.

Both Beamon and Ellies got on the field against Illinois ahead of Culpepper. Not surprised at all Culpepper has decided to enter the transfer portal.

 

[njguy57]

MOOKIE COOPER any interest in this guy?

...or we're moving 1 or 2 of them to SS or FS.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Appears that PSU has had conversations with this OL grad transfer.

Eric Wilson evaluating transfer to Auburn

Eric Wilson, a graduate-transfer offensive lineman from Harvard, committed to Auburn but decided not to sign after Gus Malzahn's firing.

like Porter and Elis..

Agreed!
ulpepper leaving is going to hurt... we are not very deep there....

 

[DogDung]

We have a ton of DT’s. Not sure if any develop, but look at the list:

Beamon
Brevard
Darkwa
Ellies
Hansard
Hawkins
Izzard
Mulbah
Mustipher

Antonio Shelton is in the transfer portal

 

[LionHoya]

Antonio Shelton is in the transfer portal

What the hell? He played great this year, particularly the latter half of the year. It's not like there is a lot of experience or guys plainly more talented behind him. Why would he seek another year somewhere else? Really don't get that one.
