3 biggest gets for Penn State football in the transfer portal
By Josh Yourish
. . Jalen Kimber. 526. Redshirt Senior. Eligibility: 1 year. Jalen Kimber. CB. player. Jalen Kimber
As a redshirt senior with one year of eligibility left, Kimber is in his third stop of his collegiate career. First, Kimber spent two years at Georgia, then two at Florida before finding his way to Happy Valley where, barring an unforeseen injury or unfortunate circumstance, he’ll finish his collegiate career.
Kimber doesn’t have the ceiling of the much younger Harris, but he’ll provide much-needed experience to the Penn State secondary. Under Manny Diaz, Penn State was one of the most blitz-happy teams in the country, which naturally leaves cornerbacks in one-on-one situations. Kimber can be trusted to survive in those circumstances after a season in which he played the fifth most snaps on the Florida defense and finished with a team-high five pass breakups. That is if Tom Allen decides to play that way.
The Big Ten just welcomed a whole lot of offense to the conference with the additions of Oregon, Washington, UCLA, and USC. The Nittany Lions have three of those teams in their schedule along with Ohio State in 2024, so pass defense will be key, and Kimber is the one cornerback with a long enough track record of success to trust.
