  Draft Scout by Conference









  Penn State's transfer portal recruiting prior to the 2021 season included multiple key additions to its roster. The Nittany Lions and head coach James Franklin added Arnold Ebiketie - who would lead the team in sacks and go in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft - and Derrick Tangelo along the defensive line as starters. They added Eric Wilson, who picked up plenty of snaps at guard on offense, and John Lovett, who had a role in the run game. Not to mention A.J. Lytton, who was a key contributor on special teams. All five of those players came in as part of a six-man transfer class and all five are no longer with the program. The first four either entered the draft or exhausted their eligibility, while Lytton transferred out of Penn State.

The sixth member of the class is the lone player still with the Nittany Lions and has become one of the most frequently mentioned names out of fall camp as a breakout player - Johnny Dixon. Dixon joined the team after transferring out of South Carolina and made minimal impact, recording 10 tackles and two passes defended. Heading into his second year with the program, a flip has switched for Dixon, starting cornerback Joey Porter Jr said. "He's a different dude from when he came in to now," Porter Jr. said. "I feel like he really changed his attitude and his approach to the game. He's just been making plays all camp. It's a high ceiling for Johnny and it's gonna be a good year for him." - Centre Times
