Penn State linebacker Jarvis Miller transferring to UMass for final season

Yet another Nittany Lion is leaving Happy Valley.

Jarvis Miller, a veteran reserve linebacker, announced Saturday afternoon that he is transferring to UMass for his final year of eligibility. Miller, who graduated with a degree in criminology, will pursue his Master’s at Amherst.

“The past four years have been the most amazing experience that a young man could possibly ask for,” Miller wrote in a statement on Twitter. “To the Penn State fan base, you are the best fans anyone could ask for.”

Miller’s decision to leave shouldn’t come as a surprise. The rising redshirt senior played in 11 games in 2018, but didn’t make much of an impact.
