Former Penn State wide receiver Cam Sullivan-Brown enters transfer portal

After not appearing on the spring roster, another Penn State receiver is reportedly in the transfer portal.

After not appearing on the team’s roster for the spring, it had been speculated that wide receiver [autotag]Cam Sullivan-Brown[/autotag] had played his last game with the Nittany Lions. And that indeed appears to be the case as Sullivan-Brown has reportedly entered the transfer portal.

According to 247Sports, Sullivan-Brown entered the transfer portal on Wednesday. By entering the transfer portal, Sullivan-Brown is free to have contact with any program that may be interested in adding the veteran wide receiver to their roster. Sullivan-Brown will have one final year of eligibility to use, which was granted to every student-athlete as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic wrecking havoc on the sports calendar in 2020.

Sullivan-Brown was among the handful of players that were notably absent from Penn State’s spring roster. After playing five years for the Nittany Lions (Sullivan-Brown redshirted as a freshman), all tat was left to determine was whether or not he would continue playing football for another program or not.

Sullivan-Brown appeared in 38 games for Penn State, in which he recorded 17 catches for 163 yards. The super senior will be eligible right away to play in 2022 wherever he may end up.

Sullivan-Brown is the fourth wide receiver from Penn State to enter the transfer portal this offseason. [autotag]Norval Black[/autotag], [autotag]Justin Weller[/autotag], and [autotag]Daniel George[/autotag] all entered the transfer portal previously. As of now, none of the other three have confirmed a transfer detsination. Penn State has also added to its receiver position through the transfer portal with the addition of [autotag]Mitchell Tinsley[/autotag] from Western Kentucky.

Penn State wide receiver enters name into NCAA transfer portal

Penn State wide receiver Norval Black enters transfer portal

After initial reports last week that wide receiver Norval Black was no longer on the Penn State football roster ahead of the Outback Bowl, Black has confirmed he has entered the NCAA transfer portal. Black announced he had entered the transfer portal with a quick message on his Twitter account, confirming he will have two years of eligibility remaining with whatever school adds him to their roster.

“Thank you Coach Franklin and the rest of the Penn State staff for taking a chance with me,” Black said in his brief Twitter message. “I am officially in the transfer portal with 2 years of eligibility.”

Black joined the Penn State program in the Class of 2020 as a transfer from Lackawanna College. Despite being on the roster for the past two seasons, Black did not appear in a game.

There is no indication yet where Black intends to head next, but it would seem he will be moving on from Penn State.

The NCAA allows players to enter their names in a transfer portal database to have communication without other potential schools while evaluating transfer options. Players may at any time remove their name from the transfer portal and remain with their current program.

Black is the fifth player from Penn State to enter the transfer portal. Other players from Penn State currently in the transfer portal include safety Enzo Jennings, offensive guard Des Holmes, and quarterback Ta’Quan Roberson. Safety Tyler Rudolph has announced he is transferring to UMass.

Overview

Penn State has established quite a pipeline of transfers from Lackawanna College. Among the handful of players to come to Penn State from the successful JUCO program in Scranton is wide receiver Norval Black.

Black transferred to Penn State from Lackawanna College in 2020 and did not see the field for the Nittany Lions in 2020, his junior season of eligibility. But he came to Happy Valley with a solid career already behind him with the JUCO program. A team captain as a sophomore, Black was a part of a Lackawanna College program that went 10-1 in 2019 and 11-0 in 2018.

Black recorded 570 receiving yards on 22 catches in 2019, which led to him being named All-Northeast Football Conference first team in his final season of junior college football.

Black’s role in 2021 for the Nittany Lions may be as a deep reserve on offense, with some possible special teams duties to get him on the field this fall.
