Iowa State QB Rocco Becht Enters Portal, Plans Penn State Visit to Reunite With Matt Campbell

Penn State pursues stability at quarterback through a familiar face from Campbell’s Iowa State tenure.

Overview

  • ESPN’s Pete Thamel reports Becht is preparing to visit Penn State in the coming days after entering the transfer portal.
  • Becht started three seasons at Iowa State under Campbell, topping 9,000 passing yards with 64 touchdowns during that span.
  • Penn State is seeking an experienced starter as Ethan Grunkemeyer plans to enter the portal following Drew Allar’s late-season injury.
  • Thamel previously reported Becht recently had surgery on his non-throwing shoulder, which remains a consideration in evaluations.
  • On3 ranks Becht a four-star and No. 24 overall in the portal, and Newsweek cites an insider who says Penn State expects roughly $30 million in NIL resources.
