Penn State’s basketball season came to a close after a respectable effort in the Big Ten basketball tournament last week, but the time is now for figuring out what comes next. One thing that is likely to be the case is Sam Sessoms may not be a part of the plan.
Sessoms announced he has entered the NCAA transfer portal, posting a brief message on his Instagram account to confirm previous reports. Sessoms was one of the veteran leaders for the team in the 2021-22 season, the first under new head coach Micah Shrewsberry, and his potential loss will be a noteworthy one given his experience.
A player may enter his or her name in the transfer portal to go through the process of properly evaluating potential landing spots as a transfer player. Entering the transfer portal allows for players to have communication with other potential schools through a recruiting process.
It is important to remember that a player may withdraw their name from the transfer portal at any time and stay at their current school. John Harrar did just that last offseason. However, once a player enters the transfer portal, his current school no longer is required to hold their scholarship.

We’ll be sure to monitor where Sessoms ends up next. As noted by his message on Instagram, Sessoms has one final year of eligibility.
