Transfer Portal Roundup: Week Two

Although Penn State football continued its strong start to the season with a win over Ball State on Saturday, several former Nittany Lion stars were in action around college football as well.

Read on for this week’s roundup of how some former Penn State football players performed with their new teams.

Will Levis, Kentucky

Quarterback Will Levis followed up his monster debut for Kentucky with a quieter performance against Missouri. He completed a pedestrian 55.6% of his passes for 179 yards, one touchdown, and an interception. Levis added another 25 yards and a touchdown on the ground as Kentucky held on to win 35-28.

Levis will try to keep Kentucky undefeated as the Wildcats host Chattanooga for a noon game next Saturday.
