Since arriving in Happy Valley, Matt Campbell has brought most of his successful operation from Iowa State over to Penn State. He now has both of his coordinators in place and has flipped four players from the 2026 recruiting class who were signed to the Cyclones. All signs point to redshirt junior quarterback Rocco Becht being next, and while that’s not a bad idea, Penn State has no reason to lock itself out of the booming transfer portal quarterback market.
Becht was good in 2025, throwing for 2,500 yards and 16 touchdowns, but he took a bit of a step back from his gaudy 2024 numbers with star wide receivers Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel on the outside.
