Penn St. transfers

Georgia (SEC) is attempting to get either 12 or 16 PSU players. Heard that on the radio today. Why would the SEC be trying to get so many b10 players all at once?

I'm sure it's just to help raise their team academically...

12 Big 10 players added to roster will probably double or triple their team GPA!

Legal Free Agency for a year... gives them some practice at doing it in the open, so they can improve those methods for the following years...


Running back to USC
Back up QB to LSU
TE to Florida State

A few others still deciding - but they start practices this week and once they attend a team practice they are "re-committed" for a year... and/or then follow the normal transfer policies.

Penn State linebacker Fortt transferring to Cal

Penn State linebacker Khairi Fortt is transferring to Cal, becoming the fourth player to leave the program in the past four days.

Fortt, a junior competing for the starting middle linebacker job at Penn State, was rumored to be joining the Golden Bears early Monday, but his father denied Fortt planned to transfer. Fortt said Wednesday his decision was about his future, not about Penn State's past.

"I wanted to take a leap of faith and trust in God," Fortt told the Stamford (Conn.) Advocate. "This is what's right for me and my family."

Cal uses mostly a 3-4 defensive front but Fortt, 6-2, 235, should be a good fit in the scheme. In his two best games last season, Fortt got a chance to blitz and produced 2.5 total sacks against Iowa and Houston (TicketCity Bowl).

Junior running back Silas Redd, the team's leading rusher in 2011 and arguably Penn State's most accomplished playmaker on offense, announced Tuesday he was transferring to Southern Cal.

Most incoming recruits have affirmed their commitment to coach Bill O'Brien despite prohibitive sanctions levied by the NCAA that will reduce scholarships and keep the Nittany Lions out of the postseason for the next four seasons.

Junior tight end Kevin Haplea is planning to join Florida State and safety Tim Buckley, the first player to transfer, landed at North .arolina State.

Four-star defensive lineman Jamil Pollard switched his commitment Wednesday to Rutgers from Penn State. He signed a letter of intent with Penn State in February.
