Shortly after pulling in a coveted transfer portal addition, Penn State men’s basketball roster is now down another player from last year. According to a report from Lions247, forward [autotag]Jevonnie Scott[/autotag] will not return to the program in 2022. A team spokesperson confirmed the roster change regarding Scott to Lions247 and Onward State.
It is unknown just where Scott intends to go from here, although it is heavily speculated he is or will soon be in the transfer portal to explore his potential transfer options. This will be the second time Scott will take advantage of the transfer portal, as he was a transfer portal addition of Penn State a year ago. Scott joined Penn State from South Plains College.
Scott appeared in 11 games for Penn State after having his start at Penn State delayed due to NCAA transfer regulation issues, injuries, and COVID-19. He never truly found his role with the program as a result, but a chance to wipe the slate clean with a new program could bode well for Scott.
Scott’s departure comes immediately after Penn State received a commitment from [autotag]Michael Henn[/autotag], a transfer from Denver who chose Penn State over Illinois and Notre Dame. Between the addition of Henn and the departure of Scott, Penn State is currently sitting on the 13-scholarship limit for the men’s basketball team heading into the 2022 season.
