Penn State football continues to work on its 2025 roster as its 2024 season continues. As of Dec. 24 at 9 a.m. ET, the Lions have two portal pickups, three portal losses, and three stay-or-go decisions in the books. We have a full list of the latest below as the team preps to face Boise State in a College Football Playoff quarterfinal round matchup on Dec. 31.<\/p>\n
The current deadline for undergraduates to have their name in the portal is Dec. 28. However, anyone on a team still in the College Football Playoff will have a five-day period after its program\u2019s season concludes, whenever that may be, to enter. <\/p>\n
Grad students can go into the portal at any time. And, whenever the deadline might be, it\u2019s a good reminder to note that a player does not need to pick his new school by then, but rather just declare his intentions to do so.<\/p>\n
Penn State landed its first portal triumph when former USC<\/a><\/strong> receiver Kyron Hudson<\/a><\/strong> picked<\/a> earlier this month. He has since officially signed, BWI publisher Sean Fitz reports. The 6-foot-1, 205-pound California native recorded 38 receptions for 482 yards and three touchdowns. He started his college career in 2021 and has one year of eligibility remaining.<\/p>\n The Lions\u2019 second portal win took place on Dec. 20. That\u2019s when former Texas A&M defensive end\u00a0Enai White<\/strong><\/a> announced that he would be returning home to the Keystone State to play for the Lions. He has two seasons of eligibility remaining. White was hurt for much of the 2023 season and almost all of the 2024 season. <\/p>\n Here\u2019s the list of players who have visited and where things stand as of Dec. 24:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2013 Utah State OL\u00a0Teague Andersen<\/strong><\/a>: Picked N.C. State<\/a><\/strong> on Dec. 17. \u2013 Oklahoma State linebacker\u00a0Kendal Daniels<\/strong><\/a>: Still undecided. Here is that list:<\/p>\n TE Jerry Cross<\/a>: <\/strong>Entered the portal Dec. 9. Committed to Memphis<\/a><\/strong> on Dec. 21.<\/p>\n DT T.A. Cunningham<\/a>: <\/strong>Entered the portal Dec. 9. Reports offers from USF<\/a>, California<\/a><\/strong>, and Oklahoma State<\/a><\/strong>. Has not yet made a decision. <\/p>\n QB Beau Pribula<\/a>: <\/strong>Entered the portal on Dec. 16. Committed to the Missouri Tigers<\/a><\/strong> on Dec. 22.\u00a0According to On3\u2019s Pete Nakos, Pribula signed a $1.5 million NIL agreement. He will likely be the SEC school\u2019s starter in 2025. <\/p>\n We will break these down into two groups. The first is Penn State players who must decide if they are coming back for a final season or not. The second group is players who are NFL draft eligible and must decide what to do for 2025. <\/p>\n Penn State players who could come back for a final season if they choose to:<\/strong><\/p>\n S Zakee Wheatley<\/a><\/strong>: Announced Dec. 23 that he is returning for another season.<\/p>\n OL JB Nelson<\/a><\/strong>: No announcement yet. <\/p>\n C Nick Dawkins<\/a><\/strong>: No announcement yet. <\/p>\n DE Zuriah Fisher<\/a><\/strong>: No announcement yet. <\/p>\n DT Alonzo Ford<\/a><\/strong>: No announcement yet. <\/p>\n CB Jalen Kimber<\/a><\/strong>: No announcement yet. <\/p>\n P Riley Thompson<\/a><\/strong>: No announcement yet.<\/p>\n LB Dom DeLuca<\/a><\/strong>: No announcement yet. <\/p>\n S Tyrece Mills<\/a><\/strong>: No announcement yet. <\/p>\n K Sander Sahaydak<\/a><\/strong>: No announcement yet. <\/p>\n TE Khalil Dinkins<\/a><\/strong>: No announcement yet. <\/p>\n WR Trey Wallace<\/a><\/strong>: No announcement yet. <\/p>\n WR Liam Clifford<\/a><\/strong>: No announcement yet. <\/p>\n OT Nolan Rucci<\/a><\/strong>: No announcement yet.<\/p>\n LB Kobe King<\/a><\/strong>: No announcement yet. <\/p>\n Nittany Lions who will be NFL Draft eligible for the first time: <\/strong><\/p>\n QB Drew Allar<\/a><\/strong>: Returning for the 2025 season. <\/p>\n S KJ Winston<\/a><\/strong>: Has declared for the 2025 NFL Draft. <\/p>\n RB Nicholas Singleton<\/a>: <\/strong>No announcement yet.<\/p>\n RB Kaytron Allen<\/a>: <\/strong>No announcement yet. <\/p>\n C\/G Vega Ioane<\/a><\/strong>: No announcement yet. <\/p>\n OT Drew Shelton<\/a><\/strong>: No announcement yet. <\/p>\n DE Abdul Carter<\/a><\/strong>: No announcement yet. <\/p>\n DT Zane Durant<\/a><\/strong>: No announcement yet. <\/p>\n DE Dani Dennis-Sutton<\/a><\/strong>: No announcement yet. <\/p>\n CB Cam Miller<\/a><\/strong>: No announcement yet. <\/p>\n Here is that list:<\/p>\n WR Julian Fleming<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0 The post Penn State football roster tracker: Portal pick ups and losses, stay or go decisions list, more<\/a> appeared first on On3<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Penn State football continues to work on its 2025 roster as its 2024 season continues….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-78958","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78958","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78958"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78958\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78958"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78958"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78958"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Nittany Lion portal visitors and outcomes<\/h2>\n
