Lamont Wade will contend for Penn State’s starting safety spot after all.
Wade is staying at Penn State, the rising junior announced on Twitter late Sunday night. The former blue-chip recruit reportedly entered his name into the transfer portal two weeks ago — and he confirmed that to be true in a statement.
“After long thoughts, prayers and conversations, I’ve came to the decision that I will be removing my name from the transfer portal and continue to pursue my degree which I’m three semesters away from completing and getting back to work with my brothers,” Wade wrote.
