In a stunning turn of events that is sure to shake up the Big Ten Conference, Penn State kicker Jordan Stout has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal.
Nittany Lions Lose Reliable Weapon
Stout, who was considered one of the most accurate kickers in the country, made 21 of 25 field goals and 64 of 66 extra points in his career at Penn State.
His departure leaves a major void in Penn State's special teams unit, as he was a consistent performer and a valuable asset to the team.
Badgers Capitalize on Opportunity
Wisconsin, meanwhile, has pounced on the opportunity to add Stout to its roster.
The Badgers have had some struggles in the kicking game in recent years, and Stout's arrival could provide a much-needed boost.
Stout Expected to Make Immediate Impact
Stout is expected to be eligible to play immediately for Wisconsin, and he is likely to be the team's starting kicker next season.
His addition could be a major factor in Wisconsin's quest for a Big Ten championship and a berth in the College Football Playoff.
Transfer Portal Continues to Reshape College Football
The NCAA Transfer Portal has become a major force in college football in recent years, as players have gained more freedom to move between schools.
Stout's transfer is just the latest example of how the portal can significantly impact the balance of power in college football.
