Penn State defender Davon Townley Jr., enters NCAA transfer portal
Penn State defensive tackle Davon Townley Jr., has entered the NCAA transfer portal. The redshirt senior from Minneapolis, Minn., also entered the portal last offseason but decided to return to the Nittany Lions. It’s unclear if he will do so this time around.
A Class of 2021 signee, Townley came to State College as a defensive end. But, the Lions later moved him inside, even if adding the weight necessary to actually play defensive tackle took time. After redshirting in 2021, Townley Jr., made three tackles over seven games in 2022 and had one tackle over three games last fall.
Townley is the third Nittany Lion to hit the transfer portal since the spring window opened on April 16. Receiver KeAndre Lambert-Smith is off to Auburn, while fellow pass catcher Malick Meiga has not yet picked a a school but reports offers from Nevada and Coastal Carolina.
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.
