Penn State Football Quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer Entering the Transfer Portal

Grunkemeyer, who completed 69.1% of his passes for 1,339 yards and 8 touchdowns, seeks clarity on his future amid coaching and staff changes at Penn State.

  • Per ESPN's Pete Thamel, Penn State redshirt freshman quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer plans to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal on Friday, with three seasons remaining.
  • Amid offensive-staff turnover and Matt Campbell's arrival, Grunkemeyer said Nov. 30 he wanted to discuss his future with the new coach.
  • After a seven-game run as the starter, Penn State quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer finished 123-of-178 for 1,339 yards and eight touchdowns, leading the team to four-straight wins, including the Pinstripe Bowl.
  • Penn State must now search for its 2026 starting quarterback after Grunkemeyer entered the portal, with Rocco Becht's transfer intentions intensifying competition for the vacancy.
  • Looking ahead, Ethan Grunkemeyer figures to be a high-interest name in the portal after his Pinstripe Bowl performance and four-star 2024 recruit status could draw interest from Virginia Tech or Penn State.
