Camren Wynter was no stranger to handling the basketball for the Drexel Dragons. The four-year player was a three-time All-CAA player for the Dragons and was the conference’s most outstanding player in the CAA Tournament in 2021. Wynter was a key contributor for Drexel as an efficient scoring option.
Role in 2022-23
Expect a quick impact from Wynter on this Penn State roster. Wynter should pair nicely with Jalen Pickett in the starting five for the Nittany Lions and will help provide some scoring for the offense. The combination of Wynter and Pickett gives Penn State a potent guard combo to run its offense this season.
