Lamont Wade has stared into the transfer portal and lived to tell about it.
The Penn State safety joined 14 of his teammates to announce their intentions to leave State College either for the NFL or other colleges, but Wade on Sunday night revealed he will return to the Nittany Lions.
“After long thoughts, prayers and conversations,” Wade wrote in a note posted to his Twitter account, “I’ve come to the decision that I will be removing my name from the transfer portal and continue to pursue my degree.”
That’s that... See you guys in the National Championship ✌🏾 pic.twitter.com/89r3WOv6AS

A Clinton, Pa., native Wade has appeared in 24 games over his first two seasons, collecting 49 tackles with two TFLs, one sack, one forced fumble and three passes defended. He should be in line to start as a junior and senior after, you guessed it, the transfer of fellow safety Isaiah Humphries.
