Michael Johnson Jr. in transfer portal
- Thread starter PearlSUJam
- Start date
Kinda figured this would happen. Wish the kid well. Roster down to 85 schollie I believe.
He was the one I feared wouldn’t stick around. Good luck to him, though.
It was bound to happen. Good luck to him.
We need one more transfer then we can go after Nebraska’s leading receiver who went in the portal.
Don't we all
I agree that the WR from Nebby left for undisclosed health reasons. PSU doesn't need any part of that.
We all knew somebody would leave. Too many on the roster combined with modern rules and ideology about playing time.
Probably for the best -- for him and for us, given the 85 crunch we're up against.
Really talented kid, but probably not ideally suited for Kirk C's offense. If he's behind Roberson on the depth chart, then it's hard to see a path to playing time in his near future. It doesn't get any easier with Bowens and Veilleux joining.
Best of luck to the young man. He'll have some interested suitors.

Obviously Franklin’s lost the Quarterback Room.
I know you're joking but the guys on the 247 podcast agreed that Veilleux is the best QB that CJF gotten to commit assuming he signs the papers in the winter.Obviously Franklin’s lost the Quarterback Room.
As far as expectations while still in high school, probably true. Hopefully he fulfills those expectations and breaks a bunch of Trace’s records.
Yes, a joke. That said, I remember the excitement when Johnson signed with PSU. Could his athleticism have made a difference for us down the road?

Assuming Veilleux signs and Clifford stays after this year, we'd be looking at 6 QB's on next years roster. Something had to give. He had offers from Bama and Florida State out of h.s. so I believe he'll land in a good spot.
This is an example of why the portal is good. The portal allows the kids who get passed to find alternatives and also gets the program away from being locked into valuable scholarships that won't impact play.
I would assume CJF would have signed the papers to let him transfer under the old rules being the situation with 6 QB but some coaches may not have.
Your post is a little vague. Are you saying that Veilleux is the best QB that Franklin ever recruited?
No I realize Fields was committed and decommited. They said if he is is one of the 85 on the team he'll be the best QB CJF has landed.
If Veilluex is the best QB that CJF has signed, then I look forward to him breaking Trace's following records:
Wins (31)
Completions (720)
Passing yards (9,899)
Passing touchdowns (77)
Total offense (11,596)
Rushing yards by a quarterback (1,697)
Rushing touchdowns by a quarterback (30)
Touchdowns responsible for (107)
Consecutive games with a touchdown pass (34)
300-yard passing games (10)
200-yard passing games (28)
Agree. Also B1G Championship but MNC is what the goal is.
So now the fans favorite QB us a kid ebtrtung his senior year in HS? No wonder the back up QBs transfer -now they are not even the fans favorite.

Trace was a great QB for PSU. Hard to find players that play like that throughout their career

Learn how to read.
It’s easier now that there’s a marketplace to help kids casts wide net of opportunities. Win-win.
Certainly the point of the portal....that and avoiding lawsuits. But it should be restricted more than it is. Pretty sad that kids do so during season. And go to teams on the schedule!
Student athletes should only be permitted to so during off season. For football, allow it at the end of regular season but before bowl games. Not during spring practices. Allowed again after spring game up until fall practice begins.
Oh.....cool. With Franklin as HC, we have a lot to look forward to.
I was being serious. I believe Franklin will be at Penn State for a long time.
Compare it to trying to date/meet someone online in the 90s and then Match.com comes along. More fish, easier to assess more good opportunities.
I remember saying this would happen when both he and Roberson signed to same class. Oh the stones that were thrown at me by the recruiting “experts”. It was always common sense. Whoever was behind the other would leave since they’d never play. Crazy concept.
