Penn State defensive lineman Owen Wafle entered the NCAA transfer portal, On3’s Pete Nakos has learned. He started his college career at Michigan.
Wafle appeared in nine games this past season, totaling nine tackles during that time. That includes two solo stops, with one each against Villanova and Iowa.
During his lone year at Michigan in 2024, Wafle did not see game action as a true freshman. That meant he preserved a redshirt and will have three years of eligibility remaining.

Campbell arrives from Iowa State, and his former quarterback is set to take a visit to Happy Valley.
Rocco Becht entered the portal Friday and has lined up a visit to Penn State, On3’s Pete Nakos reported. Becht put together a standout run at Iowa State under Campbell and offensive coordinator Taylor Mouser, who is taking the same role at Penn State.
