Penn State may be getting some key players coming back in 2024, but the Nittany Lions are going to have to replace one of its leading receivers. Omari Evans announced on social media his intent to enter the NCAA transfer portal, suggesting he is leaving Penn State behind in hopes of getting a little more out of his remaining eligibility.

Penn State football's overhaul of its wide receivers room for 2025 is in full swing. The Nittany Lions' top two receivers reportedly will enter the NCAA Transfer Portal, thus making running back Nicholas Singleton the team's returning leader in receptions for next season.

Penn State landed two wide receivers in the transfer portal last month: Kyron Hudson from USC and Devonte Ross from Troy. The Lions also have three wide receivers in their current recruiting class: Matthew Outten of Portsmouth, Va.; Lyrick Samuel of New York; and Koby Howard of Davie, Fla.

Junior wide receiver Omari Evans announced that he was entering the transfer portal. The news was broken by On3. A 6-foot, 188-pounder from Killeen, Tx., Evans caught 21 passes for 415 yards and five touchdowns for the Nittany Lions in 2024-25. He will have one year of eligibility remaining.

Evans spent his first three collegiate seasons with the Nittany Lions and had 21 catches for 415 receiving yards and five touchdowns in 2024.

Wide receiver Omari Evans plans to enter the transfer portal, per On3: Evans arrived at Penn State in 2022 as a part of James Franklin’s most heralded recruiting class. In three seasons with the Nittany Lions,
