Brodenβs committed fresh off his official visit to Fayetteville.
Heβd previously visited Oklahoma and Penn State after entering the portal New Yearβs Day.
This past week, Broden tweeted that he planned on announcing his committed the next day. A day later, Broden tweeted that he was postponing that announcement and didnβt say when the new date would be. Broden visited Penn State the weekend before coming to Arkansas. This past season, Broden caught 32 passes for 506 yards and seven touchdowns. In 2021, Broden caught 36 passes for 596 yards and five scores.
Before Bowling Green, Broden played at West Bloomfield High School in Michigan. He was a three-star recruit in high school and signed with Bowling Green in December 2018. After entering the portal, he received offers from schools such as Arkansas, Colorado, Houston, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Pitt, Syracuse, Texas A&M, Washington State and West Virginia in addition to Penn State, which offered him Jan. 4.
Penn State thought it had added to its receivers room out of the portal the night it won the Rose Bowl by landing a transfer commitment from former NC State receiver Devin Carter. But Carter flipped his commitment to West Virginia Wednesday evening. Now, it looks like Penn State has missed out on Tyrone Broden, who has two seasons of eligibility remaining. Penn Stateβs trying to add to a receivers room thatβs losing Mitchell TinsleyΒ (out of eligibility) and Parker WashingtonΒ (NFL Draft).
Penn State is also set to return receivers such as KeAndre Lambert-Smith, who had a Rose Bowl-record 88-yard touchdown reception, and Harrison βTreyβ Wallace, who stepped up late in the season after Washington went down with a season-ending injury. Last season, Penn State added Tinsley from the portal, who became the teamβs No. 2 receiver behind Washington. The search for more WR depth continues for Penn State.
