Ex-Penn State WR commits to Lane Kiffin, Ole Miss

Former Penn State football wide receiver Harrison Wallace is heading to Oxford. After entering the transfer portal last Wednesday, the Nittany Lions’ leading receiver from 2024 has committed to Ole Miss.

The news was reported by On3’s Hayes Fawcett on Sunday afternoon. Since officially entering the transfer portal last week, Wallace visited with Ole Miss, Texas A&M, and Louisville.

The redshirt junior was expected to visit South Carolina starting on Sunday. However, according to the reporting of On3’s Pete Nakos, that visit was canceled.

Things appeared to be trending the Rebels’ way early on Sunday. Shortly after reports of the canceled visit to South Carolina surfaced, Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin took to X, where he posted an article from earlier in the week off the Gamecocks site Garnet & Cocky that discussed Wallace’s planned trip to Columbia.
