Penn State’s Amare Campbell Enters Transfer Portal After Breakout Season

He cites feeling undervalued, with one season of eligibility remaining.

Overview

  • The junior linebacker announced on social media that he is entering the transfer portal for the second time.
  • He led Penn State with 103 tackles in 2025, adding 9.5 tackles for loss, three sacks, and the defense’s green-dot responsibilities.
  • His 61-yard fumble-return touchdown at Rutgers secured a 40-36 win, and he recorded seven solo tackles in the Pinstripe Bowl against Clemson.
  • Campbell arrived from North Carolina last offseason and would be moving to a third program in four years, with one year left to play.
  • Reporting says staff efforts to keep him were unsuccessful, leaving new defensive coordinator D’Anton Lynn with a significant gap to fill.
