Three months ago, after Penn State’s successful 2022 season came to an end with a Rose Bowl victory, the Nittany Lions saw several players enter the transfer portal. While some remain in it, one player has now found a home and he has done so within the Big Ten.
Cornerback [autotag]Marquis Wilson[/autotag] is heading to Purdue after spending time in the transfer portal, according to Supreme Athlete who represents him.
Entering what will be his final season of eligibility in college football, Wilson has four years of experience from his time in Happy Valley under his belt. In those four years, he has accumulated two interceptions, three forced fumbles, and 55 tackles. Last year was his best year statistically in the tackle category as he provided run support and racked up a career-high of 20.
Wilson found himself as the odd man out in a loaded defensive backroom. After the team replaced starter [autotag]Joey Porter Jr.[/autotag] There was potential for him to see a larger role but then [autotag]James Franklin[/autotag] and his staff were able to enter the transfer portal and grab [autotag]Storm Duck[/autotag] away from North Carolina to fill the spot.
Once that move happened plus the emergence of [autotag]Kalen King[/autotag], he was the odd man out and decided to transfer. Now he has a chance to find success on an always gritty Purdue team that has been a program on the rise as of late.
