Michigan State Hit by 40 Portal Entries as Penn State Loses Five-Star TE, Adds Ben Brahmer

A compressed Jan. 2–16 transfer window is forcing accelerated roster reshaping under new coaching staffs.

Overview

  • The NCAA transfer portal opened Jan. 2 under the new single January window.
  • Newsweek reported about 40 Michigan State players entered the portal as of Jan. 2, creating an urgent rebuild for new coach Pat Fitzgerald with classes resuming Jan. 13.
  • Penn State true freshman tight end Andrew Olesh is entering the portal, according to On3 reporting cited by Newsweek.
  • Penn State has added former Iowa State tight end Ben Brahmer and offensive lineman Will Tompkins via the portal, per On3 and Yahoo Sports.
  • The window closes Jan. 16, with an extra five days for national finalists, so rosters remain in flux as entries and commitments continue.
