Penn State will host a graduate transfer from Virginia Tech in early April.
Former Hokies receiver Eric Kumah announced on social media Monday that he will check out the Lions April 6, which is the Saturday before this year’s Blue-White game at Beaver Stadium.
The Lions recruited Kumah, from Woodbridge, Va., back when he was a three-star recruit in the Class of 2016 before he ultimately picked VT. There, he hauled in 70 passes for 883 yards and nine scores over two seasons on the field. He redshirted as a true freshman.

Kumah, who stands 6-foot-2, 225 pounds, shares a hometown with Penn State running back Ricky Slade. Because he redshirted, he’ll have two seasons to play at the school of his choice.
The Lions have plenty of room to add graduate transfers after losing at least 10 players to transfer following the 2018 season and double that to graduation while signing 19 players to their Class of 2019 back in December. At least one more, end Smith Vilbert, will sign on the traditional Signing Day Feb. 6, and Penn State is expected to add to that total between now and then.
If he selects PSU, Kumah would become one of the oldest receivers in first-year position coach Gerad Parker’s room, as the Lions lost DeAndre Thompkins to graduation while Juwan Johnson and Brandon Polk are grad transferring out of the program after the spring semester.
