Former Penn State QB Christian Veilleux enters transfer portal for second time
Former Penn State quarterback Christian Veilleux will enter the NCAA transfer portal for the second time in as many offseasons. The Ontario native said Tuesday that he is leaving Pittsburgh one year after he left the Nittany Lions to join the ACC program.
“I would like to thank the University of Pittsburgh, as well as Coach Narduzzi, Coach Cignetti, and Coach Bell,” Veilleux wrote on Twitter. “I had a great time here in Pittsburgh, I will be entering the transfer portal with 2 years of eligibility.”
Veilleux left Penn State with hopes of becoming a starter after losing out on the top job to Sean Clifford in 2021 and 2022. He played in seven games for Pitt in 2023, completing 94 of 184 passes for 1,179 yards and seven touchdowns to eight interceptions. His career stat line is now 117 of 219 (53.4 percent) for 1,461 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Track Penn State transfer portal activity
The NCAA transfer portal database is private. But Blue-White Illustrated and the On3 Network have you covered from start to finish when it comes to tracking Penn State player movement.
Our well-established network of reporters and contacts across college athletics keeps you up to speed in several ways. We have articles written about players as they enter and exit the transfer portal or find their new destination, a dedicated transfer portal Twitter account, and the On3 Transfer Portal wire.
The transfer portal wire provides a real-time feed of player activity, including basic player profile information, transfer portal ranking, and original On3 Consensus recruiting ranking, as well as NIL valuation (name, image, and likeness).
While the transfer portal officially opens for business on April 16 for undergraduate players, grad transfers can enter it at any time. This specific transfer portal window runs through April 30, 2024. It is important to note that a player does not need to make his decision by the deadline. Undergrads do, however, have to declare their intent to enter the portal by then. When they pick their next school or decide to return to their current one after that is up to them.
