Penn State RB Cam Wallace enters NCAA Transfer Portal

Penn State redshirt sophomore running back Cam Wallace has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal. The news comes via On3’s Pete Nakos.

Wallace appeared in just four games this season. The Mount Vernon, GA native recorded 23 rushing yards on just six attempts. Across three seasons in Happy Valley (one redshirt season), Wallace has compiled 86 yards rushing and one touchdown on 24 carries.

Prior to enrolling at Penn State, Wallace was ranked as a three-star prospect and the No. 984 overall player in the 2023 class, according to the On3 Consensus. He was the No. 67-ranked RB in his class and the No. 100 overall player from the state of Georgia, hailing from Montgomery Co.

Wallace originally committed to James Franklin and Penn State over programs such as Indiana, Vanderbilt, and Georgia Tech out of high school. Franklin was fired following Penn State‘s 3-3 start to the season, making Wallace’s decision to transfer an unsurprising one.

To replace Franklin, Penn State hired Iowa State head coach Matt Campbell. Across 10 seasons in Ames, Campbell led the Cyclones to a 72-55 record.

“Our discipline has got us to play and beat the best of the best,” he explained during an appearance on Josh Pate’s Speaker Series, adding that the ability to play together was a constant in every successful team he’s coached. “Those values still reside in any championship football team and football program. That’s what’s going to have to reside at Penn State.”

“We can’t worry about 1-0 or this or that,” he concluded. “We’ve got to worry about one day at a time, creating great championship habits and the opportunity to be what we say we are.”
