Veteran Penn State defensive lineman is no longer with the Nittany Lions
Penn State defensive end Smith Vilbert is going into the NCAA transfer portal months after saying he would return for one final ride.
DE Smith Vilbert has entered the transfer portal

Well that is now two potential DE starters gone: Vanover denied extra year of eligibility and Smith Vilbert portalled. Serious hit to DE experience and depth.
Vanover is the bigger loss. While depth and experience may be thinner now, DDS, Granville, and White were most likely the top three DEs anyway. Smith-Vilbert was most likely still a complimentary player to those three. I don’t blame him for exploring other options for his last year….or he was persuaded to leave.
Actually Jim,
I believe he was going to be the next man up......,
Maybe he got an increase in `pay grade` from another team.
osu sent Knowles to PSU to sabotage the program. Unassailable.
He'll never find a team now. We were told that players HAD to declare before the playoffs or there will be no space for them anywhere
