Penn State’s basketball season came to a close last week at the B1G Tournament and, already, the team is dealing with a departure.

Ben Jones of StateCollege.com reported on Wednesday that reserve guard Sam Sessoms has entered his name into the NCAA transfer portal. The senior came off the bench and provided a nice spark for the Nittany Lions all throughout the season.

Sessoms averaged 11.6 point, 3.1 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game while shooting just under 45% for the year. He played outstanding in the B1G Tournament, scoring 14 points in a win over Minnesota and dropping 18 in an upset victory over Ohio State.

In the quarterfinals, he scored 9 points in a 69-61 loss to Purdue. The Nittany Lions closed the year with a 14-17 record and a 7-13 mark in B1G games.

Sessoms started his career at Binghamton before transferring to Penn State. He played in 55 games with the Nittany Lions, making 10 starts. All over those came during the 2020-21 season.

Over his two years in State College, Sessoms averaged 10.1 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1 steal per game. He averaged 18.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.1 assists per contest in two years at Binghamton.

Sessoms will have one year of eligibility to use at his next destination. In four seasons, the guard has played in a total of 117 games with 71 starts.
