Overview
- ESPN’s Pete Thamel reports Becht is preparing to visit Penn State in the coming days, with a potential reunion described as something that could come together quickly but not yet agreed.
- Becht started three seasons at Iowa State with more than 9,000 passing yards and 64 touchdowns, and he recently had surgery on his non-throwing shoulder, per earlier reporting.
- Campbell coached Becht at Iowa State and has brought multiple offensive assistants from the Cyclones to Penn State, creating staff continuity for a possible move.
- Penn State is pursuing an experienced starter after Ethan Grunkemeyer indicated he will enter the portal and Drew Allar’s ankle injury reshaped the depth chart; the Lions went 4–3 with Grunkemeyer, including a Pinstripe Bowl win.
- Reports highlight significant NIL resources projected for Penn State under Campbell, and an On3 insider has predicted Becht will land there, though no decision has been announced.
