Penn State freshman Ken Talley enters transfer portal, removed from roster

Penn State four-star edge rusher Ken Talley entered the transfer portal and is no longer listed on the team’s official website.

One of Penn State’s key additions in the Class of 2022 has already stepped foot into the NCAA transfer portal. Ken Talley, a four-star edge rusher from Philadelphia, has reportedly entered his name in the transfer portal and he is no longer listed on the team’s official roster on the team’s website.

Talley was the final member of Penn State’s Class of 2022 to join the program on campus, and it looks like he will be the first to leave it as well. The sudden loss of Talley is a tough one for Penn State, as he had been committed to the program since 2020 and chose the Nittany Lions over a number of lucrative scholarship offers to stay in-state.

By entering the transfer portal, Talley is now free to have conversations with any college football program that may be interested in his recruiting. A player can always take their name out of the transfer portal and remain at their current institution, but more times than not the player ultimately moves to a new school.

We’ll keep tabs on where Talley goes from here. Meanwhile, Penn State will have one less four-star talent to rely on with the defensive line.
