A week after entering the transfer portal, following Penn State’s season-ending loss to Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff semifinals, former Penn State wide receiver Omari Evans has found his new home.
The speedy senior receiver will be flipping coasts and committing to Washington, he announced Wednesday evening on Instagram.
Evans will have one year of eligibility remaining and, if he needs one, a redshirt season as well. In Happy Valley, Evans established himself as a deep threat wideout who could get behind the defense. However, like most of the wide receiver room over the past few seasons, Evans struggled to make a consistent impact, albeit not entirely his fault.
In his Penn State career, Evans caught 30 passes for 564 yards (18.8 yards per catch) and seven touchdowns. This year was by far Evans’ most productive season, racking up 415 yards on 21 catches and five touchdowns.
Evans joins Harrison Wallace III, Tyler Johnson and Mehki Flowers as the Penn State wide receivers to enter the transfer portal this offseason.
Penn State has added two wide receivers from the transfer portal: Kyron Hudson from USC and Devonte Ross from Troy.
