Penn State Baseball’s Jack Porter & Nate Voss Enter Transfer Portal
Penn State baseball outfielder Jack Porter and catcher Nate Voss are entering the transfer portal, per On3’s transfer portal tracker. They both have one year of eligibility remaining.
Porter, who announced his intentions to transfer on social media on Thursday, will play for his fourth school in five years. The Perfect Game No. 15 overall prospect in Tennessee in the Class of 2022 enrolled at UCF and redshirted his first season in 2023 before entering the portal and rebuilding his stock at John A. Logan College, a junior college in Illinois, in 2024.
He re-entered the portal after 2024 and jumped back to Division I, joining Penn State ahead of the 2025 season, where he serves as the team’s primary designated hitter. He slashed .310/.408/.549 in 47 games with 10 home runs, 38 RBIs, and 24 extra-base hits. Despite missing the Big Ten Tournament with an injury, he was named to the Second Team All-Big Ten.
An early-season slump slowed his momentum down in 2026, but he still finished with a line of .311/.376/.477 with four home runs, 21 RBIs, and 17 extra-base hits in 41 games thanks to a 16-game hitting streak. An injury suffered in late April against Oregon limited him to just two pinch-hit at-bats in the final three weeks of the regular season.
Voss is also entering the portal for the third time in his career, having spent his freshman year at Michigan in 2023 before also going the junior college route in 2024 at Iowa Western Community College.
Upon arriving at Penn State in 2025, he was a big part of a formidable offense as a junior, slashing .245/.337/.496 with eight home runs, 33 RBIs, and 17 extra-base hits in 43 games. He had possibly the biggest swing of the season that year, a go-ahead home run to send the Nittany Lions to the Big Ten Tournament semifinals against USC.
He was once again expected to get the lion’s share of reps behind the plate in 2026, but he suffered a season-ending injury on a slide into third base in the season opener against Air Force on February 13. Upon his injury, senior Joey DeMucci and true freshman Avery Smith split time at the position.
It is assumed that Voss will apply for a medical redshirt after his unfortunate injury, but things could be complicated by a future NCAA ruling on eligibility.
