Penn State is going to have some major work to do to address the need for wide receiver in 2025. On the same day as Omari Evans announced he is entering the NCAA transfer portal, word broke that Penn State’s other top wide receiver is about to enter the portal as well. [autotag]Harrison Wallace III[/autotag] shared a post on his Instagram account to confirm a report he is entering his name in the NCAA transfer portal.
Wallace III will have a year of eligibility remaining wherever he ends up next. He just wrapped up his fourth season with the Nittany Lions and was Penn State’s second-leading receiver behind only All-American tight end Tyler Warren.
Wallace had 46 catches for 720 receiving yards and four touchdowns in the Penn State offense in the 2024 season.
Penn State has seen a number of wide receivers enter the transfer total this year. Reserve receiver Feyisayo Oluleye was the first wide receiver to enter the transfer portal, doing so back in mid-November as the regular season was winding down. Recent additions to the transfer portal this week include Mehki Flowers and Tyler Johnson. Penn State has added a couple of wide receivers from the transfer portal with Kyron Hudson from USC and Devonte Ross from Troy. Wallace and Evans each jumping in the transfer portal a day after two other wide receivers entered the portal means Penn State will be scrambling for receiver help still available in the portal.
It is always possible a player in the portal could ultimately choose to stay at Penn State by taking their name out of the portal. However, once a player enters the portal, they are far more likely to move on rather than return.
