Linebacker Portal Targets Emerge For Penn State

Following the Blue-White game on Saturday, James Franklin made clear that linebacker was going to be a position the Nittany Lions were going to target in the transfer portal this spring.

James Franklin said Penn State is going to “look at the portal” to build more linebacker depth.
