After seeing a number of players enter the transfer portal after a head coaching change following its run to the second round of the NCAA Basketball Tournament, Penn State was hoping to keep a roster in some decent shape after making its coaching hire official. But new head coach [autotag]Mike Rhoades[/autotag] will continue to piece together his first roster in Happy Valley without at least one player from last season’s roster. Guard [autotag]Caleb Dorsey[/autotag] announced he has found a new place to call home out of the transfer portal, thus fully moving on from his time at Penn State.
Dorsey announced, via Instagram, he has committed to William & Mary. With the Tribe, Dorsey has played three seasons at Penn State, leaving him with one more year of eligibility unless he uses a redshirt season.
Dorsey appeared in just 16 games for the Nittany Lions last season. Dorsey was battling an undisclosed injury situation for the majority of the season. He last played in a game for Penn State on February 5 in a road game at Nebraska. Dorsey started nine games for Penn State last season.
Dorsey is the first Penn State player to formally leave the program by way of the transfer portal this offseason. While the Nittany Lions did just add Ace Baldwin from VCU, Penn State still has a handful of players sitting in the transfer portal weighing their options. Penn State players still in the transfer portal include [autotag]Kebba Njie[/autotag], [autotag]Jameel Brown[/autotag], and [autotag]Evan Mahaffey[/autotag].
Penn State also had a couple of players ask to be released from their national letters of intent following the coaching change.
