Former Penn State Nittany Lions WR transfer Omari Evans has set visits to four schools, he tells On3's Hayes Fawcett.

Junior wide receiver Omari Evans announced that he was entering the transfer portal. The news was broken by On3. A 6-foot, 188-pounder from Killeen, Tx., Evans caught 21 passes for 415 yards and five touchdowns for the Nittany Lions in 2024-25. He will have one year of eligibility remaining.

Penn State landed two wide receivers in the transfer portal last month: Kyron Hudson from USC and Devonte Ross from Troy. The Lions also have three wide receivers in their current recruiting class: Matthew Outten of Portsmouth, Va.; Lyrick Samuel of New York; and Koby Howard of Davie, Fla.

Penn State football's overhaul of its wide receivers room for 2025 is in full swing. The Nittany Lions' top two receivers reportedly will enter the NCAA Transfer Portal, thus making running back Nicholas Singleton the team's returning leader in receptions for next season.
