by | Jan 19, 2025

A wide receiver who spent this past season at Penn State has decided to transfer to East Carolina.

Pete Nakos of On3 reported that Tyler Johnson has left the Nittany lines and will suit up for the Pirates this fall. Johnson played in 10 games at Penn State last season but did not record any stats.

Johnson‘s move is the second by a football player who previously played at Penn State in the past year. London Montgomery, a running back, transferred to ECU last year.
