Grad transfer Dylan Penn has become a hot commodity in the portal

Less than 24-hours since Bellarmine grad transfer Dylan Penn put his name in the portal, over 20 schools have reached out. The 6-foot-3 point guard finished third in the A-SUN in scoring (16.6 points) and assists per game (5.0) this season.

The second-team All-ASUN selection attended Evansville (IN) Reitz Memorial High School. Penn has scored 1,260 career points while shooting 52-percent in his Bellarmine career.

On3 caught up with Penn the day he went into the portal to see which schools reached out to him since he put his name out there.

“LSU, Purdue, Ole Miss, Memphis, Loyola-Chicago, Oregon State, Georgia Tech, Wichita State, Western Kentucky, College of Charleston, Appalachian State, Evansville, etc., Penn said.”

Penn helped usher Bellarmine into D-I basketball as they were a D-II program for his first two seasons. As the starting point guard for Bellarmine’s only two seasons in the A-SUN, he was 21-8 in conference play. Penn’s only other recorded offer out of high school was Indianapolis.

This would be Dylan Penn’s first transfer. While he is a grad transfer, due to the extra COVID year, Penn is eligible for two more years.
