There was no quieter area of Penn State’s locker room than where the wide receivers were sitting. After the Nittany Lions’ College Football Playoff semifinal loss to Notre Dame, reporters were allowed access to the locker room for 20 minutes of interviews. And in those final seconds, Harrison Wallace III, Omari Evans and Co. looked like they wanted to be anywhere else.
And who could blame them? After hugging teammates and consoling one another, what else was there to say? Penn State had just fallen short of playing for the national championship. The Nittany Lions were a few plays away from beating the Irish at Hard Rock Stadium. And of those plays that could have been made, Penn State’s wide receivers didn’t make any of them.
The receivers didn’t account for a catch in Penn State’s 27-24 loss. Days later, news broke that Wallace and Evans, Penn State’s leading wideouts in 2024, will enter the transfer portal.
