With a week off from Penn State football, folks could look at other teams across the country. Whether you rooted for them or against them, a host of former Penn State players once again took the field after transferring from Happy Valley.

Despite Penn State football’s woes, other players have found great success elsewhere.

Let’s see how they did.

Ethan Grunkemeyer, Virginia Tech

Ethan Grunkemeyer completed 20 of 32 passes for 156 yards and two touchdowns. 

Grunkemeyer’s solid performance helped Virginia Tech beat Clemson 20-16.

Luke Reynolds, Virginia Tech

Luke Reynolds was Grunkemeyer’s top target. He caught seven passes for 44 yards and two scores. Reynolds also had the game-winning touchdown catch with under two minutes to go.

Mylachi Williams, Virginia Tech

Mylachi Williams had a late fourth-quarter sack to seal the win for the Hokies. That was his only contribution.

Keon Wylie, Virginia Tech

Keon Wylie had four solo tackles and a tackle for loss. The linebacker is in the midst of his best season yet, with 42 tackles, a sack, and a fumble recovery.

Xavier Gilliam, Tennessee

While Tennessee fell to South Carolina 27-24, Xavier Gilliam found plenty of success against South Carolina’s interior offensive line.

He recorded one sack and three quarterback hits.

Amare Campbell, Tennessee

Another Nittany Lion turned Volunteer, Amare Campbell also wreaked havoc with a sack and five tackles on Saturday.

Dejuan Lane, Tennessee

Tennessee’s pass defense was lackluster, but Dejuan Lane finished with a team-high eight tackles.

Jabree Coleman, South Carolina

Jabree Coleman had limited usage, but he recorded 10 rushing yards and 10 receiving yards off six touches.

Kaden Saunders, Southern Miss

Kaden Saunders had a quiet day, catching three passes for 13 yards in a win over Louisiana.

AJ Harris, Indiana

One of Penn State’s highest-profile transfers, AJ Harris had his best day as a Hoosier with two passes defended and eight tackles in a 13-6 win over Michigan.

King Mack, NC State

Safety King Mack recorded only two tackles in a loss at Stanford. However, in the return game, he continued to produce with 66 yards on four kickoffs.

Elliot Washington II had a solid game with three tackles and a quarterback hit. He lost to his former head coach James Franklin.

Zuriah Fisher, USC

Zuriah Fisher recorded three tackles in a 24-7 loss to Wisconsin that resulted in a field rush.

USC’s defense played its part for most of the night, but quarterback Jayden Maiava and the Trojans’ offense were stifled from the jump

Ta’Mere Robinson, USC

Ta’Mere Robinson also played a part in the USC loss on Saturday, recording one tackle.

Beau Pribula, Virginia

Beau Pribula struggled in a 19-16 loss to Duke, completing just 15 of 24 passes for 158 yards and an interception. He did add 21 carries for 66 yards, however.

Owen Wafle continued his dominant season against the Cavaliers.

The former Penn State defensive lineman recorded seven tackles and half a tackle for loss against Pribula and Virginia.

Anthony Ivey, San Jose State

Anthony Ivey continued to struggle in the passing game but made an impact on returns, with five punt returns for 6 yards.

Ken Talley took down No. 2.

The edge rusher recorded four tackles, one tackle for loss, and one sack against No. 2 BYU in an incredible 39-31 double-overtime win.
