Back to the Penn State Nittany Lions Newsfeed

Former 5-star wide receiver George Campbell transfers to Penn State

Penn State saw its fair share of players leave via the transfer portal this offseason. But on Wednesday, the Nittany Lions were finally on the receiving end of a departure.

George Campbell — a former five-star recruit and Florida State wide receiver — announced that he will play his final year of eligibility in Happy Valley. Campbell, who caught 13 career passes for 206 yards in Tallahassee, is expected to graduate from Florida State in the spring and be ready to join the Nittany Lions for the 2019 season.

“It’s no secret that the last four years have been full of highs and lows for me, but I’ve always been told that ‘tough times don’t last, tough people do,’” Campbell wrote in an Instagram post.
