Patrick Kelly

Actually the first Lion to enter the portal (back in November but not known until February), Patrick Kelly barely played for Penn State this year. He stated specifically he was leaving because of the Pat Chambers firing. Kelly has heard from Florida, Virginia, North Carolina State and North Carolina(!).

VBR Crystal Ball: Davidson College (25%)

Call me a pessimist, but I just can’t see any of those schools he stated committing a scholarship spot to a player that can’t crack the PSU rotation. Since he’s from Raleigh, it’s natural to head back home so how about a smaller school in the area like Davidson.
