Penn State Football is expected to be active in the transfer portal this offseason, and it seems James Franklin is already exploring options at a key position of need.
Wednesday, Penn State joined Syracuse, NC State, Maryland, and Virginia Tech, among others, in offering division II offensive tackle Alan Heron.

Herron is currently rated as the number four offensive tackle and number 26 overall player in the transfer portal, according to 247Sports.
Herron, a sophomore, played for the Shorter University Hawks for the past two years before entering the transfer portal.
He would have three years of eligibility remaining and, from his offer list, will have many suitors in the portal once the portal window officially opens December 4th.
I’ve officially entered the transfer portal. Thank you again to Shorter University💙🤍 @RivalsPortal @On3Recruits pic.twitter.com/431gYNwD5U
