The Penn State men’s basketball team added their first player through the transfer portal in Jay Rodgers.
Rodgers is a 6’-3” senior guard from Pickerington, Ohio who played for the Central Connecticut Blue Devils of the Northeastern Conference (NEC) the past four seasons (2022-26).
Before Central Connecticut, he played a year at Cochise College in Douglas, Arizona (2021-2022) and then for the New Orleans Privateers during his freshman season (2020-21).
The crafty, left-handed point guard was visiting State College just this weekend.

Rodgers, who has one year of eligibility left, is a very much welcomed addition to the Nittany Lions who have seen seven of their players from last year’s roster test the market in this year’s transfer portal.
