What went wrong with Penn State RB Cain, who's now in transfer portal?

ALTOONA, Pa. -- Noah Cain showed so much promise in 2019, when everyone was convinced he was Penn State's best running back. That was, remember, even with Journey Brown on the team (and before Brown was sensational late that season).

The table was set for Cain to become a star for the Nittany Lions. He entered the 2020 season as the starting tailback, after Brown was forced to medically retire, and we all thought he was going to be in store for big things.

But it never happened.

And now, Cain will be leaving Penn State, with word coming out Wednesday that he has entered the transfer portal.
