The Nittany Lions finished the 2024 college football season with a 13-3 record and an 8-1 mark in Big Ten play. Penn State was led by quarterback Drew Allar, who capped off the year posting 24 touchdowns and 3,327 yards with a 66.5 completion percentage.

NCAA President Charlie Baker says there’s plenty of time to figure out the best window for the transfer portal.

Players can still enter the transfer portal after the initial deadline thanks to an additional window for teams that played beyond Dec. 28, whether in bowl games or the College Football Playoff (CFP). Once those seasons wrap up, players have a five-day window to enter the portal, adding another opportunity beyond the December period.

Student-athletes can enter their names into the transfer portal during two different periods for the 2024-25 academic year. The first took place in early December and the second in late April.

By the time the portal window closed for the Badgers on Dec. 28, 23 scholarship players and two walk-ons entered the portal.

LSU, Texas and Ole Miss are among the programs leading the 247Sports team rankings for portal commits. Tigers coach Brian Kelly urged boosters and LSU supporters after the season to help the cause in 2025 and has said he'll match any individual donation up to $1 million.
