Source: Penn State WR Justin Shorter plans to transfer

Penn State wide receiver Justin Shorter has entered the NCAA transfer portal, according to a source.

Shorter was the No. 8 ranked prospect overall in the 2018 recruiting class, a five-star, and the No. 1 ranked receiver in the country. Penn State signed Shorter out of South Brunswick High School in Monmouth Junction, New Jersey, and was part of an excellent recruiting class joined by five-star linebacker Micah Parsons.

In his freshman season in 2018, Shorter had three receptions for 20 yards and no touchdowns. He has only caught 12 passes for 137 yards in 2019 and has not been a big feature of the current offense.
