Penn State Football returns one of the deepest and most talented rosters that it’s had under head coach James Franklin. The Nittany Lions are a media darling this offseason and the upstart team to challenge for a College Football Playoff berth in November. The team avoided major attrition in the portal this offseason and had only a few holes to fill heading into the spring.  Now that we’re barreling towards fall camp with the roster mostly complete, we can look back and answer whether Penn State was a winner or a loser in the portal. To recap, these are the players that Penn State lost to the portal from the beginning of December to now.
