Dante Cephas has been a key wide receiver in the transfer portal this offseason. As of Sunday, Cephas is ready to depart the portal with a commitment to the B1G.

For 2023, Cephas has committed to Penn State via transfer. He was the top available prospect in the transfer portal at the time of his commitment per the 247Sports transfer rankings.

Cephas was originally a 3-star prospect in the 2019 recruiting class before a strong career during his time at Kent State. The 6-foot-1 Cephas leaves the Golden Flashes third on the program’s all-time receiving list with 2,139 receiving yards.

Cephas’ best season came in 2021 when he produced 1,240 yards and 9 touchdowns in 14 games played. He was limited to 9 games during the 2022 season but produced 744 receiving yards and 15.5 yards per catch.

With some key departures from the receiver room that include Parker Washington and Mitchell Tinsley, Cephas provides a plug-and-play piece for the Nittany Lions in 20223.
