It was announced that Blackwood planned to enter the transfer portal on April 5. He averaged 2.6 points and 1.8 rebounds per game on 49.1% shooting from the field in his lone season in Happy Valley.

Blackwood committed to Penn State as a three-star recruit out of New Hampton High School in New Hampshire. Fellow freshman guard Kayden Mingo found his new home last week at Baylor.
