UW picked up veteran wide receiver Omari Evans from Penn State via the transfer portal on Wednesday. Evans had 415 receiving yards and five TDs this past season.

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.

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.

The dominoes are set to fall quickly in Penn State’s wide receiver room after another disappointing season. The Nittany Lions have added two transfers for 2025 in USC’s Kyron Hudson and Troy’s Omari Evans. Now, one starter from 2024 is on his way out.

Penn State football lost Harrison Wallace III and Omari Evans to the transfer portal following the Nittany Lions loss in the Orange Bowl.

Omari Evans finished first among Nittany Lion wideouts with five touchdowns and second with 415 yards in 2024.

Former Penn State wide receiver Omari Evans announced that he is transferring to Washington. Evans entered the transfer portal following Penn State’s season ending loss in the Orange Bowl to Notre Dame.
