For the third time in the past couple of months, a Penn State football player has decided to take his leave of James Franklin‘s program.
In late November, Justin Shorter took the initial step in transferring from the Penn State football team by entering the NCAA transfer database. Two months later, the wide receiver landed at Florida. A week prior to Shorter deciding on his transfer destination, teammate and defensive end Daniel Joseph made his way into the portal.
Monday evening, another Penn State football player, DJ Brown, took to Twitter to announce that he will “transfer and pursue another opportunity elsewhere.” Per Brown, he will graduate from PSU this summer.
“I am truly thankful for being able to attend Penn State these past 3 years,” the cornerback wrote. “The fan base and the memories have been incredible.”

Brown was a three-star member of the Nittany Lions’ 2017 recruiting class. He was rated as the No. 99 player regardless of position in the state of Georgia.
During his time in Happy Valley, Brown played in seven games. All seven of those appearances came this past season.
In the weeks leading into the Cotton Bowl matchup with Memphis, Brown was listed as a third-team corner on the depth chart. That positioning likely triggered the decision to transfer.
