Penn State portal fits

Blue White Illustrated has identified several vital positions that Penn State needs to address those positions include defensive tackle, offensive tackle, running back, and wide receiver. Those are the primary positions that T-Frank is pulling from when compiling his top-five list. The list includes two receivers, two linemen and one running back. He also starts and ends the show with an honorable mention that didn’t make the list for various reasons. However, his final player might surprise you, so stay to the end to find out.

T-Frank also updates fans at the show’s beginning on what Penn State news broke just before recording.


Potential transfer portal fits for Penn State football: Dec 7 update

With over 1,000 players in the transfer portal, it’s hard to sort through the names to find valid Penn State prospects. That’s why we’re scouting the portal for you to find players that fit the position-specific needs that the Nittany Lions have to reload for 2022. We’ll also be reviewing the players that Penn State has offered to give you a better sense of what skills they possess. 

Latest Penn State portal targets and candidates

WR Dorian Singer – Arizona

  • 6-1, 185
  • Recruiting class: 2021
  • Relationship with Penn State staff: No

Singer might be the best receiver prospect in the transfer portal from a skill standpoint at first glance. The sophomore pass-catcher has some of the softest hands in college football and is money at the catch point. The Penn State-offered receiver came down with 12 of his 24 contested catches (50%) on the year. Singer is a route-running and separation technician who does a great job at the line of scrimmage, beating press coverage with a Davante Adams/Stefon Diggs type of skill. However, he’s not a physically dominant player. He has very good, but not elite speed and a lack of size and strength when he plays physically intimidating corners that can match his agility. 

Penn State is breaking in a new quarterback next season, and there wouldn’t be a better security blanket for Drew Allar than the feeling he can throw it up to #5 if he’s in trouble. Singer would be a home-run get, but he’s also going to be coveted by every school looking to reload at receiver.
