That fact headlines today’s rundown of Nittany Lions’ news to know. But, it’s not all that we have to discuss. A top transfer portal target has made his decision, and a PSU player is looking for a new school.

It’s time to dive into the latest tweets and headlines about Penn State and college football on Jan. 13.

Penn State tweets of the day

We start with a look at the latest early enrollees for the Lions.

The official Penn State football Twitter account shared a photo of the group with head coach James Franklin at a State College restaurant. Below, you can see the group with Franklin.

From left to right: Back Kaytron Allen, tight end Jerry Cross, receiver Kaden Saunders, quarterback Drew Allar, transfer receiver Mitchell Tinsley, James Franklin, receiver Omari Evans, quarterback Beau Pribula, offensive lineman JB Nelson, defensive lineman Zane Durant, and running back Nicholas Singleton.

In other news, former Virginia offensive tackle Ryan Swoboda has picked a new college.

The multi-year starter for the Cavaliers selected Central Florida. It’s not a great surprise. He is from the Sunshine State. That said, the Lions wanted and could have used the offensive lineman. But, it didn’t work out.

Finally, for this section, another Penn State player is in the transfer portal.

This time, it’s running back Noah Cain. It was not surpirsing that a Lions back ended up looking for a new home. Cain probably wasn’t the favorite to do so, however. That said, injuries derailed what appeared to be a bright future in State College. Penn State fans will surely follow where Cain ends up at.
