Freshman Isaiah Humphries announces transfer

Penn State legacy recruit Isaiah Humphries, a Rivals.com three-star safety out of Rowlett, Texas, announced Wednesday afternoon his intention to transfer following his first redshirt freshman season with the Nittany Lion football program.

As written in a Tweet, Humphries said that he had made the decision to transfer but did not yet know what his next destination would be in football.

"After many months of prayer and thought, I will be leaving Penn State. I'm so thankful for the coaches and the staff for allowing me to come here all the way from Texas. I have made many friends here that I will dearly miss and it's going to be hard to leave them here," said Humphries. "But in order to grow and not lose the passion that I have for football and for everything that I value. I unfortunate (sic) will be transferring from this place. I appreciate everything that has been given to me and the relationships that I have made along the way. Good luck to the Nittany Lions on their bowl game and I wish them the best. So now, I'll be figuring out where I will call home next."

Despite a change in rules within the NCAA allowing players to participate in up to four games even while taking a redshirt season, Humphries did not appear in game action at all for the Nittany Lions this season.

Humphries picked the Nittany Lions over offers from Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Stanford, UCLA and USC, plus Oklahoma, LSU, TCU and Texas A&M.
