Joins exodus of PSU wideouts Wallace will enter the transfer portal, Matt Zenitz of 247Sports.com reports.
Impact Wallace joins Omari Evans as Penn State starting receivers to enter the portal Tuesday. He'll have one season of eligibility remaining at his next stop. The wideout reeled in 46 receptions for 720 yards and four touchdowns this fall as Drew Allar's top target not named Tyler Warren. Wallace should garner plenty of Power Four interest.

Returns in style against Ducks Wallace (undisclosed) caught four of eight targets for 59 yards and a touchdown in Penn State's 45-37 loss to Oregon.
Impact Wallace was previously held out of the team's regular season finale against Maryland with an undisclosed injury, but the redshirt junior was able to suit up against the Ducks in the Big Ten Championship. The 6-foot-1 receiver didn't miss a beat, finishing second on the team with 59 receiving yards and finding the end zone on a 14-yard pass from quarterback Drew Allar to make it a one-score game late in the fourth quarter. Wallace has been a playmaker throughout the season for the Nittany Lions, recording 40 catches for 650 yards and four touchdowns through 12 games. All eyes will be on Beaver Stadium as Penn State plays host to SMU in their first-round playoff matchup on Saturday.

Sits out regular-season finale Wallace (undisclosed) did not play during Penn State's 44-7 win Saturday against Maryland.
Impact Penn State comfortably defeated Maryland to end the 2024 Nittany Lions' regular season. Up next for them is this year's Big Ten Championship Game between them and Oregon on Saturday.
DECEMBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Deemed questionable Wallace (undisclosed) is listed as questionable for Penn State against Maryland.
Impact Wallace has yet to miss a game this season, but is in jeopardy of changing that in the regular season finale. The wideout, who has 36 grabs for 591 yards and three scores this fall, should be monitored leading up to game time.

Logs 84 yards in big win Wallace reeled in five of eight targets for 84 yards during Saturday's 35-6 victory against Washington.
Impact Wallace had his most productive game since logging 117 yards and two touchdowns in the season opener versus West Virginia. the 6-foot-1 redshirt junior has been the Nittany Lions' most productive and consistent wideout this season, though his season stat line isn't overly impressive at just 30-491-2. Instead, do-it-all tight end Tyler Warren has been far and away the No. 1 receiver with a 59-681-4 stat line, and he once again led the team in targets with 11 on Saturday. Wallace's targets share is alright for a No. 2 receiver, but his lack of scoring ultimately keeps him from being a reliable fantasy option week to week.
NOVEMBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Sees six targets Week 7 Wallace logged three receptions (on six targets) for 53 yards during Saturday's 33-30 overtime victory versus USC.
Impact Wallace had a similar stat line to the last four games, as he's averaged 3.3 catches (on 4.5 targets) for 44.5 yards over this span. Meanwhile, standout tight end Tyler Warren had a historic outing with 17 catches on 20 targets for 224 yards. The senior tight end has been the clear-cut No. 1 receiver for quarterback Drew Allar this season, as the team has yet to establish a consistent target among the wide receivers. Wallace has been the most reliable wideout week-to-week, though he's not caught a touchdown since his two-score Week 1. He'll hope to find his way back into the end zone when the Nittany Lions next play at Wisconsin in Week 9.
OCTOBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Logs three more catches Week 6 Wallace hauled in all three targets for 46 yards during Saturday's 27-11 victory over UCLA.
Impact Wallace finished with between three to four catches and 29 to 50 receiving yards for the third week in a row. The redshirt junior has been the team's most consistent widoeut with 242 receiving yards this season, though tight end Tyler Warren is still the team's top pass-catcher with 289 receiving yards this season. Wallace may need to play a bigger role when the Nittany Lions match up against one of the Big Ten's best passing offenses next week at USC.

Logs five targets again Wallace accrued four receptions (on five targets) for 50 yards during Saturday's 21-7 victory against Illinois.
Impact Wallace had his second-most productive outing of the season, though this speaks to his minimal fantasy performances since a 117-yard, two-touchdown outing in the season opener. The redshirt junior also still logged fewer targets than tight end Tyler Warren, who's been the No. 1 receiver for quarterback Drew Allar so far this season. With seven catches (on12 targets) for 79 yards over the last three games, it's unlikely that Wallace will put up enough stats to be a worthwhile fantasy option moving forward.

Catches three passes Saturday Wallace had three receptions (on five targets) for 29 yards during Saturday's 56-0 victory over Kent State.
Impact Wallace saw his target share tick back up after logging just two in Penn State's previous game two weeks ago. The redshirt junior wideout also finished with the team's second-most targets behind tight end Tyler Warren (six). Other than his outstanding Week 1 performance when he caught two touchdowns, it looks like Wallace may be bound for a relatively modest role in new offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki's scheme. He'll look to make a bigger impact during this coming Saturday's conference opener against illinois.
SEPTEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
No catches in tight win Wallace failed to haul in either of his two targets yards during Saturday's 34-27 victory over Bowling Green.
Impact Harrison's role seemed to flip after his two-touchdown performance Week 1. The 6-foot-1 wideout saw similar playing time Saturday, but he was no longer the favorite target for quarterback Drew Allar, who targeted tight end Tyler Warren on eight of his 20 passing attempts Saturday. Harrison still seems like the top wideout for the Nittany Lions, as Omari Evans was the leading wideout Saturday with just two catches on four targets. Harrison will look to make a bigger impact when Penn State next plays versus Kent State on Saturday, Sept. 21.

Explodes in Week 1 win Wallace notched five receptions (on nine targets) for 117 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 34-12 win versus West Virginia.
Impact Wallace looked like the clear No. 1 wideout for quarterback Drew Allar, who went 11-for-17 passing for 216 yards and three touchdowns. The redshirt senior got the scoring started when he caught a play-action pass in stride before quickly breaking away for a 50-yard score. His next touchdown came when he caught a well-placed pass in the back corner of the end zone for an 18-yard score just before halftime, and the majority of his work was done for the rest of the game. Wallace had just two touchdowns in 20 appearances over the previous two seasons, leaving it unclear how he'd stack up in this starting receiving corps this season. After this Week 1 result, it appears Wallace will be the top pass-catcher in what should be a significantly-improved offense for the Nittany Lions this year. It'll be worth monitoring how the team's targets shake out Week 2 versus Bowling Green.

Impact The sophomore will not be able to play in Saturday's game against Michigan as he is dealing with an arm injury. Wallace has logged 15 catches for 161 yards this season and will try to return next week against Rutgers.

Injury like not season-ending Wallace (arm) is not likely to be out with a season-ending injury, Audrey Snyder of The Athletic reports.
Impact Wallace was seen wearing a sling on his right arm Saturday. While that type of visual would be cause for concern, especially with the 2023 season in the latter half, Penn State's head coach James Franklin not updating Wallace's status suggests he can return this year in some capacity.

Likely done for day Wallace (undisclosed) has returned to the sideline with his arm in a sling and is likely done for the day, Seth Engle of The Daily Collegian reports.
Impact Wallace left the game during the first quarter after he was targeted on a play, immediately exiting for the locker room. It certainly doesn't seem like he'll be back in action Saturday, and the extent of his injury remains unclear. Malik McClain has reportedly taken most of the reps in his absence.
