Wallace came to Penn State as a three-star prospect and a bit of an under-the-radar name, as he started playing football late and was initially viewed as a basketball prospect. In the transfer portal, 247Sports had him ranked as the 57th-best prospect and the No. 16 wide receiver.

Evans’ emergence in the last five games has come at the same time that running backs Kaytron Allen and Nick Singleton are chewing up defenses. If a defense chooses to put a safety near the line of scrimmage to slow Allen and Singleton, it leaves room for Evans and other wideouts.

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.
