Penn State football defensive lineman Rodney McGraw is entering the NCAA transfer portal with three years of eligibility remaining.

McGraw’s entrance into the portal will become official when the first transfer window opens tomorrow, December 5.

“Thank you Penn State for an incredible experience,” McGraw wrote. “I learned a lot playing for Coach Scott and Franklin. I’m extremely appreciative of my time in Happy Valley. I believe it’s in my best interest to enter the transfer portal at this time.”

McGraw committed to Penn State’s Class of 2021 as a three-star recruit back in May of 2020 after originally committing to play at Indiana. After redshirting his true freshman season, McGraw appeared in five games for the Nittany Lions this year and recorded his first career tackle in Penn State’s White Out win over Minnesota.

With the transfer portal window opening tomorrow, McGraw is one of the first of what may be several Nittany Lions to enter their names into the portal. Redshirt freshman quarterback Christian Veilleux announced this past Tuesday that he intends to enter the transfer portal.
