How Donaven McCulley Would Fit Penn State Football

McCulley, a former four-star prospect, has spent the past three seasons with the Hoosiers, recording 64 catches for 813 yards and seven touchdowns.

In 2023, McCulley recorded 644 yards and six touchdowns, including a long 69-yard touchdown in Beaver Stadium against the Nittany Lions in October.

Donaven McCulley Collecting Transfer Portal Offers

Since entering the transfer portal, McCulley has received offers from Penn State, South Carolina, NC State, Mississippi State, and USF so far.

Penn State Football will have plenty of competition for McCulley’s services, but it has become clear that wide receiver is going to be a position Franklin and Staff attack aggressively in the portal.
