Penn State football was fairly successful in staving off the NCAA transfer portal through the first five months of 2024. However, five more Nittany Lions joined KeAndre Lambert-Smith and, Malick Meiga and Davon Townley in the spring transfer portal on Thursday. The group includes wide receiver Malik McClain, offensive lineman Golden Israel-Achumba, running backs London Montgomery and David Kency Jr., and safety King Mack.
