Penn State Football: Replacing lost secondary players for 2019

Throw out most of what anyone knows about Penn State football’s secondary. After losing all but one starter last year, the Nittany Lions lost two more starters and multiple reserves to graduation and to transfer this offseason. In total, they’ll add up and will affect this roster in the fall.

Amongst the obvious departures, two-year starting corner Amani Oruwariye exhausted his eligibility after a couple All-Big Ten seasons. Senior starting free safety Nick Scott also closed out his career with an All-Big Ten year. Those guys round out the normal departures, then come the transfers.

So far, 11 current Penn State football players are either in the transfer portal or have already announced their departure from Happy Valley according to Centredaily.
