Talley is not completely cut off from the team, however. Apparently, Talley will be able to start practicing with the team this fall. Penn State has removed Talley from its roster, as it looks like he is now officially a Spartan.
Talley is eligible to practice this fall with the Spartans.

Since the transfer happened after the May 1 deadline, Michigan State will need to file a waiver that will need to be approved by the NCAA for Talley to be eligible this season.
The Spartans’ next two games are against Washington and Minnesota.
