Penn State football has officially lost both of their wide receivers as Harrison Wallace III enters the transfer portal.
Wallace, a 6-foot-1, 198-pound receiver from Montgomery, Ala. and Pike Road High School, was second on the team with 46 receptions and 720 yards, along with four receiving touchdowns.
He will have one year of eligibility remaining.
Wallace’s best game this season was the season opener against West Virginia, where he recorded five passes for 117 yards and two touchdowns against the Mountaineers.

This announcement comes after fellow wide receiver Omari Evans announced his plans to enter the portal earlier Tuesday afternoon. The wide receiver room faced a lot of criticism for its lack of production last season, and it was a big topic during the CFP semifinal, where the receivers combined for zero passes in the Orange Bowl against Notre Dame.
Wallace and Evans’ departures means that Penn State will have new starting wide receivers for 2025, which has long been a discussion even before last season ended. James Franklin and Co. brought in two receivers via the transfer portal – USC’s Kyron Hudson and Troy’s Devonte Ross – along with the incoming recruiting class.
It’s now another challenge for quarterback Drew Allar, who decided to stay for his senior season, to build chemistry with his new targets before the 2025 season arrives.
Regarding returners, outside of running backs Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen, the only players that caught five or more passes were tight ends Luke Reynolds (9) and Khalil Dinkins (14), and receiver Liam Clifford (18). So it’ll be an almost entirely new pass game for Penn State next season.
