SAD NEWS: Three Players Exit Penn State Via Transfer Portal on Monday
Days after Penn State’s College Football Playoff semifinal loss to Notre Dame, the Nittany Lions experienced a mini exodus, with three players leaving the program on Monday.
Wide receiver Tyler Johnson, cornerback Cam Miller and safety Mehki Flowers announced their transfer portal intentions. They join previous portal departures WR Jason Estrella, DL T.A. Cunningham, WR Feyisayo Oluleye, TE Jerry Cross (Memphis) and QB Beau Pribula (Missouri).
Flowers and Miller were four-star recruits when joining Penn State in 2022. Miller was the No. 239 player and Flowers ranked at No. 187.
In three seasons with the Nittany Lions, Miller contributed 56 total tackles, six passes defended, four sacks and one interception. Flowers played on special teams in 2023.
One of the headlines to emerge in Penn State’s Orange Bowl loss to Notre Dame was that the team’s wide receivers were held without a catch.
It’s no wonder, then, that three receivers have entered the transfer portal so far this offseason.
Tight end Tyler Warren was the Nittany Lions’ leading pass-catcher in 2024, catching 104 passes for 1,233 yards and eight touchdowns.

The team’s leading wide receiver, Harrison Wallace III, was responsible for 46 receptions for 720 yards and four touchdowns. However, he had no games with more than five catches and only one contest with 100+ receiving yards.
Penn State has the No. 35 transfer portal class per On3Sports, with six incoming transfers and eight outgoing.
