The transfer portal plan has been clear for Matt Campbell and general manager Derek Hoodjer in their first offseason at Penn State, and that’s to bring their Iowa State roster with them. So far, Penn State has added 31 players through the transfer portal so far, and 21 of them are former Cyclones, including their latest addition, cornerback Jeremiah Cooper.
Penn State’s biggest miss from the 2025 Iowa State roster was Jontez Williams, who committed to USC. Williams is the top-ranked corner in Saturday Blitz’s transfer portal rankings, and though he has just one season of eligibility remaining, the redshirt junior was a massive get for the Trojans.
