The transfer portal is off and running. Penn State Football and head coach Matt Campbell have been super busy in their first day with the portal opened. Several Nittany Lions have made decisions on their future. Additionally, several transfer portal recruits have begun contact with Penn State.
One very intriguing player is Noah King.
King’s agent Darren Gammell, has confirmed that King will visit Penn State on January 6th.
The Prototype: Why Noah King is the Top Choice for the “Campbell Defense”
King initially signed with Kansas State in the class of 2025.
However, he ended up going to Colorado for his freshman season.
Coming out of Ohio, King was rated as a 4-star prospect. He put up very good numbers at Hamilton High School in Cincinnati.
King has great size at 6 foot 2, 200 pounds. He seems to fit the mold for the type of Cornerbacks Matt Campbell likes.
At Colorado, King generated some buzz during his redshirt season. The talented defensive back would be a great addition to Terry Smith’s Cornerback room. Penn State will look to add his talents to an already talented Cornerback room.
