Penn State targets junior college receiver for new offer
Penn State continued to build its roster of targets at the wide receiver position on Tuesday evening. Announced via Twitter, Marquis Montgomery of Snow College, a junior college in Utah, has claimed an offer from the Nittany Lions.
Montgomery is reportedly 6-foot-5, 210 pounds playing for the Badgers and just completed his second season in the program. Penn State has joined other offers from Southern Cal, West Virginia, Oklahoma, Washington State, Houston, and Utah.
“They just said that they really liked my film and they need a receiver of my size to come in,” Montgomery told BWI. “So they offered me.”
Exchanging messages with BWI, Montgomery is working on setting up a visit to Penn State’s campus the first week in January.
According to the On3 Consensus junior college rankings, Montgomery is a three-star. He’s the fourth-ranked receiver in the nation and is No. 31 overall this cycle.

Penn State receiver pursuits
Just hours before Montgomery’s Tweet, the Nittany Lions also reportedly extended an offer to Eastern Washington transfer portal target Freddie Roberson.
According to receivers coach Taylor Stubblefield, the approach is very intentional as the program looks to make up for the lost production of its top two receivers from the 2022 season.
“We are going to be in the transfer portal, there is no doubt about it,” receivers coach Taylor Stubblefield said. “I mean, if you look at a guy like Mitch Tinsley, high productive guy at a Group of Five school that was able to come in, learn the system, really learned all three positions, and he was able to do it at a high level.
“We’re looking for a guy who can help us win, no matter if it’s high school or the portal. And so yeah, we’re looking, and we got some guys in mind. And this is a unique period of, you did have visits last year, [but] Mitch didn’t even visit. Now you have some ability to visit. These next 16 days will be interesting to see who is going to be the right guys for us.”
