John Harrar will run it back with Micah Shrewsberry and Penn State basketball

Penn State will return a veteran leader for the new era of Nittany Lion basketball.

Another Penn State men’s basketball player has decided to withdraw his name from the transfer portal and stay with the Nittany Lions. John Harrar will remain with the program after taking some time to evaluate his future in the transfer portal this offseason.

Men’s basketball coach Micah Shrewsberry seemingly confirmed this development with an image posted on his Twitter account on Tuesday afternoon. Shrewberry’s official update followed a report from Jon Rothstein via Twitter earlier in the day.

Harrar’s return gives Penn State a returning leader as the new era of basketball gets underway with a new head coach. Harrar offers good size for the lineup.

Shrewsberry is also managing to find a way to convince a few players to stay put. Harrar is the third Nittany Lion to withdraw from the transfer portal and remain in Happy Valley moving forward. Izaiah Brockington and Seth Lundy previously decided to stay at Penn State rather than pursue a transfer.
