‘Everybody wants to go’: New Penn State wide receiver explains decision to transfer……
Trebor Pena, a former Syracuse wide receiver, has transferred to Penn State for his final season of eligibility, citing the program’s strong culture and competitive environment as key reasons for the move. In a recent interview, Pena explained his decision, saying, “Everybody wants to go to a place like Penn State,” referencing the school’s national reputation, fan support, and consistent presence in the Big Ten title race.
Pena brings experience and speed to a Nittany Lions receiving group that has undergone major changes this offseason, with several players transferring out and new additions coming in. He played a dual role at Syracuse as a receiver and return specialist, and he hopes to make an immediate impact in Happy Valley. His versatility and veteran presence are expected to help Penn State’s developing offense, which is looking to build a more explosive passing attack around quarterback Drew Allar.
The move also gives Pena a chance to compete for a championship and play in front of larger crowds, something he said he’s always dreamed of. With one final year to showcase his skills, Pena is eager to embrace the challenge and contribute to Penn State’s pursuit of a Big Ten title and College Football Playoff spot.
