Penn State football reportedly has another player in the transfer portal. Former four-star linebacker Lance Dixon has entered the portal, according to Lions247.

Dixon spent two years as a Nittany Lion after signing in the 2019 recruiting class. The linebacker played in 12 games in his time on campus, including in all nine in the 2020 season.

He recorded 12 tackles, including 2.5 for loss and forced a fumble in his time at Penn State.

The former four-star recruit joined Penn State out of West Boomfield, Michigan, where he was coached by Ron Bellamy, who was hired by the Wolverines Monday as the team’s new wide receivers coach.

Dixon’s departure leaves Penn State with seven scholarship linebackers listed from last year’s roster and two incoming freshmen.
