Penn State football was fairly successful in staving off the NCAA transfer portal through the first five months of 2024. However, five more Nittany Lions joined KeAndre Lambert-Smith and, Malick Meiga and Davon Townley in the spring transfer portal on Thursday. The group includes wide receiver Malik McClain, offensive lineman Golden Israel-Achumba, running backs London Montgomery and David Kency Jr., and safety King Mack.
Today, we assess how each player's departure affects the team.

Best wishes to you guys. My general comment is that 'college football' no longer exists. It is now semi-pro football. Players are going to go to the highest bidder and in many cases, they will not stay at the same school for 4 years. In a few years we will be able to look back on what NIL and the transfer portal created. Right now, it looks like a bumpy ride.
I'm fine with rest moving on but Mack ugh he had a bright future with PSU!
Pay him. Get over reality!
I agree, K. Mack is the only one that I am sad about!!! WE ARE 🏈 Unrivaled
It is the nature of college football for players to come and go. Penn State gets players from the portal too. The only thing that matters is who shows up on August 1st ready to play football.
Do you guys think we need a new WR coach?
Liam Clifford better tap into his inner Wes Welker this year we are going to need somebody capable of catching a thrown football.
He’s a poor man’s graham zugg
Too bad about Mack but the SEC payout structure to players has been in play for decades so it's hard to combat so far.
I'm amazed. Our fans have a problem with nil but think we should play better against the top teams. We have two top ten recruiting classes in ten years. Ohio State is top five for the last five years. We need better recruiting classes. And nil and facilities are what the teams ahead of us have. Better talent wins
By definition, CFB is now professional football. How long before it's realized that the "C" is no longer needed? I mean, really, what does going to school have to do with any of this? Right now, the Universities are just a tool for the players to maximize their earning potential with very little commitment. I don't really like that players are now getting paid, but I agree with it. Previously, college athletes were the most exploited individuals on earth. But I think a good solution to all these transfers would be to allow the Universities to say, "Hey, you want big-boy money you sign a big-boy contract and stick around for more than a year."
I'm as hesitant as any about NIL, but this recruiting/transfer window incentivized me to take action. Falling behind again is not want I want to see twice in a decade. Only donate if you're able, but it's time to pony up those dollars ladies and gentlemen.
For a college football team? Cmon dude. You must make a lot more money than me. I have a wife, 3 young kids and just bought our first house on 5 acres. I do well enough to allow the wife to stay at home but not well enough to justify giving one penny to a college football team because oh gosh I really hope they win...This shit is getting absurd. We're starting to be made to feel less than by others because we don't donate. You can't be a true die hard unless you've donated. Etc...Im not saying you did that, but it's true in general. FK that man. PSU wrestling is my favorite as a wrestler and I am even getting pissed off at the money hucked around their.
@@JM-wf2to It's all about priorities. I am a third-generation Penn State alum and my family has attended football games since the late 50's. I respect that you're focusing your money on your family, but I'm going to start investing mine towards my favorite sports team. Oh, and I'm a married teacher and homeowner with two dogs :)
@@brianstrathmeyer2455 good answer
Ur asking ppl to donate to a GAME a GAME….with a coach making 175k a week….This team will NEVER be in an NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP GAME with this coach….14 years has proven that.
So ur PRIORITY is to give mo ey to a team that ultimately doesn’t care about you, AND is never going to win an NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP. Plz send us all a picture of the Christmas Card Franklin sent you last year from his mansion in Florida.
Ugh.. maybe I'm just getting too old for this stuff. I already have to deal with the fact that Penn State is NOT Ohio State, or even Michigan, and I don't see any real path for them to ever get there. The fact is, there are 134 NCAA D1 schools, but only 4-5 that actually have a chance of winning a national title every year, and Penn State is not on that short list.
Now, even when we are lucky enough to get good recruits, we have to deal with developing young guys, just for them to take the first money deal that comes their way.
Mark my words.. this NIL stuff is going to backfire in the coming years. Just watch. These young kids always need someone to blame. All these young kids that are getting paid now, they're going to end up blowing their money on partying, etc., and then when they're 22 and their eligibility has ended, and they realize that they've blown through $756,253 in 4 years, and they didn't focus on their football and schooling; and now they have no degree, they have no football future in the NFL, and they spent all their money... they will need to find somebody to blame for their mistakes, . and they'll sue NCAA/ College (or whomever else has deep pockets).
I just don't like the way it's headed. Im not usually the half-empty type, but I just don't see college football heading in the right direction .
Convince me otherwise!
The PSU wrestling team has a cumulative GPA of 3.85 as a team. Most are there on academic scholarships, and a wrestler that is taking his Masters next year just got offered 400k to wrestle next postseason….should he say no? 🧐🤦♂️.
The only kid leaving off the wrestling team in the portal THIS YEAR has already graduated and is a 4.0 bioengineer.
The football team doesn’t have that team chemistry, or aptitude.
Kids should own their likeness….Has anyone ever held Universities culpable for the Billions collectively they’ve made off the kids in the past.
@@TimM-wk1zx They were given an education; which used to mean something. You think giving an 18 year-old hundreds of thousands is a good idea? They gave them an education; an opportunity to make hundreds of thousands a year, as long as you worked hard at your education ( albeit the right major).
I'm just waiting for the horror stories... they'll start popping up in., oh... approximately 3- years from now.
What 18yo has been given hundreds of thousands or educated by then?
I get the point you’re trying to make, but I see no issue handing a 4.0 gpa student 250k. I mean if the kid had student loans, ur making him sign on the dotted line at 18 he owes that much money. Help me understand the difference.
Lastly, I’m assuming you think these kids shouldn’t own their own likeness? I knew a girl at PSU aerospace engineer getting paid monthly for her research and they paid her tuition. What’s the difference?
When is the last time you walked away from hundreds of thousands?
Watch the ESPN 30 for 30 called “Broke.” You’d be absolutely shocked by how many professional athletes go bankrupt. And after a few years just watch. Watch how it’ll be everyone else’s fault that these “college” kids are broke. How the schools still didn’t do enough to help these poor disadvantaged exploited kids. When it all backfires I will have zero sympathy.
Again, we have not judged the reciever room very well at all.
What good is having WRs who can't get open? Most that have left SC for better opportunities have not fared well. Maybe the only exception was Will Levis.
Just read that another receiver, Carmelo Taylor, is leaving the team. This is getting worrisome.
Are you worried psu won't be able to replace Taylors zero catches?
@zwicker3697 It's more about depth concerns than who is starting. Suppose Tre gets injured again, or Julian continues to have nagging issues. Who steps up?
K. Mack is the only one that truly hurts!!! Receiver depth is a little concerning, but Montgomery at 185 is not big ten type running back physically at all!!! Singleton and Kaytron, and C. Wallace and Martin are awesome, and we have recruiting for the next few years running back wise!!! Offensive line is deep as well, so we should be fine, also have 2 receivers coming in the summer!!! Thanks 👍 WE ARE 🏈 Unrivaled
Psu did not think corum was big enough either.
king mack! wtf
As a FL guy who played DB as a kid, King Mack leaving has me devastated. In shambles even.
Zak, I'm sorry for your loss.
@@bluewhiteillustratedvideo thank you 😢 I am in mourning, but it will get better. I hope. 💔
Damn
@@douglaskongwa7744 I got Elliot Washington, ABS, and Jon Mitchell to put all of my King Mack hopes and wishes on. But idk if they’re going to be electric like Mack in HS returning punts at the collegiate level
@@zakkreiser5727 sucks thought he’s see the field this year
NIL and depth is the only reason. I’d leave to if I was going to ride the bench because the room is more talented than myself. This team is stacked and have a great opportunity to get in the playoffs this season. No team is perfect every one loses at some point in their lives.
If Wallace not the answer and Fleming gone next tear we will need more than Samuel to save our passing game. Wonder if keep Fleming as assistant WR coach maybe his knowledge and age able to connect better with young recruits.
Would seem to me the question that is not being asked is what is going on with the coaching in the WR room. Something else is happening in that room that needs to be explored.
Trust me, it's asked all the time.
@@bluewhiteillustratedvideo I am sure you do actually. Another thought I have had is this - Do the WR believe that Allar isn't capable of getting them the ball despite all the accolades. If you want to be a top notch WR, you need to have a QB that can get you the ball consistently. Do they know something about Allar that we don't see or know. The whole thing is so frustrating.
They told me my $50/month would make a difference!!! Liars! 🤣
💀💀💀💀💀😂
Lmao
It’s all about 85 scholarships
It's not. That number doesn't matter the way you think it does.
@@bluewhiteillustratedvideo really! You can’t have more than 85 and they were over the limit so some players had to move on or loose their scholarship. With portal and NIL they left. This actually very common for power 5 schools
To be expected, non of these players would have been in the 2 deep.nothing burger. Thank you gents for the info.
King was in the two deep
We're doomed. So if Fleming is hurt or doesn't get consistent produce, we're down to Evans as the deep, field stretching threat to pull guys off the line? Evans with 149 yards in 22 career games.
We live to fight another day. In the end it works out for everyone
Mack was the big one. Seems pretty obvious it’s a NIL / money thing. Another school must have approached him I’d suspect. 😮
Frankllins still there! Not surprised!!
You won't be happy til joes corpse is on the sideline
Man, king Mack is a stud, albeit undersized. But, KJ winston,reed , and wheatley are just better currently. Hate to see him ho. Really hone KJs cousin signs.
WE ARE... Ohio State and Michigan's sons!!!
👍👍👍👍
Well this sucks
Fire James Franklin.
Then what? Name someone better who wants the job. Make sure they have a winning record vs the top 10.
Did ANYONE seriously think Franklin was capable of positioning this team for a National Championship?
Cant consistently beat a top 10 team, worst sideline coach in America.
What's your point dude?!!
Yes, I do think that he will at some point because he has already won a serious amount of football games for being according to you the worst sideline coach in College football. His luck will continue
😁😇
What college did you coach? How many wins do you have and how many times did you end up in the top 10 at the end of the season and beginning of the next season? You sir are irrelevant lol keyboard warrior. Hilarious thanks for the laugh
Wow you went 100% doom and gloom. We had to get our scholarships down. It’s not ideal to lose Wr’s and king Mack but it was bound to happen.
What’s his record against top 10 teams.
He’s had 14 years to win a Championship, what r u thinking, in his 26th or 27th year he will get into a Championship, and the reason it won’t happen till then is because some kid was able to sell his likeness. 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Name someone better who wants this job. Make sure it is someone who positions his team to win a national championship.
