A Penn State defender will enter the transfer portal.
Sunday afternoon, not long after Penn State landed a familiar face in King Mack, Cam Miller was reported to be on the verge of entering the portal by Blue-White Illustrated.
This shouldn’t come as a huge surprise, but Miller was a key contributor to Penn State’s secondary this season.
He started four games for Penn State and played 416 snaps per Pro Football Focus, good for fifth among Penn State’s defensive backs. Miller is known for his blitzing ability. Although he only has one sack in 2024, he had three in 2023, which was good for second in the nation amongst cornerbacks.
RETURN OF THE MACK

A potential big reason that Miller is in the portal is, ironically, not a current teammate but a former one.
Penn State football’s latest transfer portal addition is a guy that fans should know.
On Sunday, King Mack announced that he’s returning to Penn State.
Mack started his college career at Penn State as a true freshman in 2023.
