The transfer from Saint Francis University (Pa), located just over an hour from Penn State’s campus, will be making a visit to University Park on Monday, according to Joe Tipton of On3Sports.

Cohen is one of very few Red Flash players who have scored more than 1,000 points and pulled down 500-plus rebounds during his tenure at Saint Francis.
Cohen is ranked at No. 21 on On3Sports’ list of top Division I transfer players.
According to Cohen, he has received interest from more than 20 Division I teams, including Notre Dame, Arkansas, Iowa, South Carolina and Florida, along with the Nittany Lions.
With the likely departure of Penn State’s top three senior players in Jalen Pickett, Camren Wynter and Seth Lundy, head coach Micah Shrewsberry may look to make a quick move in an attempt to get an early start on rebuilding the Nittany Lions’ roster for next season.
