Transfer Portal Roundup: Week 12

The Land-Grant Trophy is back in the hands of Penn State football after a victorious afternoon in East Lansing, Michigan, on Saturday.
The Nittany Lions sealed a 28-10 victory thanks to two late fourth-quarter touchdowns that ended a six-game losing streak and secured Terry Smith’s first win as interim head coach. Kaytron Allen rushed for a career-high 181 yards and is now just 138 yards shy of being Penn State Football’s all-time leading rusher. Meanwhile, Ethan Grunkmeyer earned his first win since getting the starting job.
Like Penn State, many former players also found themselves in the win column this week. Here’s the roundup.
Harrison Wallace III, Ole Miss
The wide receiver recorded 68 yards across six receptions in the No. 7 Rebels’ 34-24 win over Florida. His longest grab of the day measured in at 22 yards. The senior now holds 647 yards on the season across 42 receptions.
Ta’Mere Robinson, USC
The linebacker helped lead his No. 17 Trojans to a close 26-21 victory over the No. 21-ranked Hawkeyes of Iowa, with seven recorded tackles. Of the seven, the sophomore recorded three solo tackles and four assisted. They mark the most tackles Robinson has recorded in a single game this season.
