On Wednesday, April 16, the NCAA transfer portal opened, giving college football players around the country an opportunity to enter the name into the transfer portal over the course of a 10-day period.
This spring transfer portal window is expected to be a busy one across college football, especially for players entering the transfer portal, including Penn State
Starting this fall, NCAA roster limits for football will be 105 players. Currently, most programs carry somewhere between 115 and 130 athletes on their roster, meaning most programs will at least see 10-20 athletes enter the portal. That also doesn't include any potential portal additions those programs choose to make this spring, which would necessitate additional players leaving their respective programs.
Below you can see which players have entered the portal, who's committed to joining the Nittany Lions via the portal, and which prospects the staff has offered so far.

HOW MANY PLAYERS ARE ON PENN STATE'S ROSTER?
As of Thursday, April 17....
Penn State currently has 117 players on their spring football roster. However, that roster total does not include 11 2025 signees who will enroll on campus this spring, bringing the overall number currently to 128 players.
When considering the 105-player limit for the 2025 season, Penn State, as of now, would have to see at least 23 additional players depart the program this offseason. That does include any additional departures that would need to take place in order for the Nittany Lions to add players to their roster from the transfer portal.
Notably, the 105-player limit is currently being discussed in federal court as part of the House vs. NCAA settlement and could change in the near future.
