Former Penn State offensive coordinator [autotag]Joe Moorhead[/autotag] is busy trying to find a way to turn Akron football around in the MAC. With the Zips needing a lot of bodies in key positions on the roster to add depth, Moorhead is bringing in a transfer from Penn State to add to the offensive line. [autotag]Anthony Whigan[/autotag], who entered the NCAA transfer portal earlier in the year, has committed to joining the Akron football program for the 2022 season.
Whigan confirmed his commitment decision out of the transfer decision with a post on his Twitter account this week. Whigan was seen wearing his new Akron uniform and said he is “100% committed.”
Whigan was one of the many players to make their way to Penn State as a transfer from Lackawanna Community College. Following two seasons with the junior college program, Whigan transferred to Penn State in 2018 and appeared in two games as a junior. He appeared in all nine games for the Nittnay Lions in 2020, all on special teams.
After not appearing on the updated roster provided by Penn State earlier in January, it was apparent Whigan would be moving on to a new program through the transfer portal.

Whigan will have three seasons of eligibility remaining with the Zips. He will have just the one final season of eligibility with Akron.
