James Franklin, and Penn State Football, are already acting aggressively in the transfer portal this offseason.
Penn State wasted no time offering North Texas transfer portal wide receiver Ja’Mori Maclin Thursday.
Maclin is the cousin of former NFL star wide receiver Jeremy Maclin, who spent time with the Philadelphia Eagles, Kansas City Chiefs, and Baltimore Ravens during his career.
Since entering the portal Wednesday, Maclin also picked up offers from Michigan State, Cincinnati, Kentucky, and Ole Miss and will likely be highly coveted.

Maclin was an extremely productive wide receiver this season for North Texas, catching 57 passes for 1,004 yards and 11 touchdowns.
On the year, Maclin averaged 17.6 yards per catch with a long of 80 yards. Maclin showed big play ability against power five competition recording four catches for 122 yards and two touchdowns against California in September and also caught 8 passes for 71 yards and a touchdown against a ranked Tulane team in October.
Maclin ranked 4th on my initial top 5 transfer portal wide receiver list this week.
