Trebor Pena transferring to PSU

[ImperialOrange]

Fat chance. I fully expect someone on here to film study all of Pedo St's games this year to rip Pena if it goes bad for him.

I think he'll do fine and equally not well enough that we'll really be upset to not have him. 45 catches 520 yards 5 TDs... something like that

LMAO, I am sure you are correct!

Im sure Pena asked for more money on several occasions, the last probably being after spring ball. I’m sure the drop of from McCord to Collins was extremely noticeable and he tried to leverage himself wanting more money to stay and play when he almost certainly wouldn’t put up similar numbers. By then his leverage is lost and like Fran said he’s a 5’11 180lb slot WR. We don’t have unlimited funds like other places so being smart with how we use the collective is important. He then goes to Penn St, which is close to home, and will have a high preseason ranking, signing for about the same money.

A couple things:

1. He would have been a star at Syracuse. A former captain and exceptional member of one of our best offensive teams in the history of the program. He could have come back his entire life, welcome and celebrated as a star. After both the program and he battled through injuries for 4 years and then have 1 hugely successful season mostly because of an all-time great Syracuse QB certainly stings. We showed loyalty to him, and none was shown in return. I believe we were his only major offer out of HS as well, not to mention he was paid at market, and was named captain. Doesn’t help but to feel stabbed in the back.

2. This shows how far away CFB in general has gone from the initial intentions of name image and likeness. With these collectives it’s now the wild west and nothing more than play for pay where athletes, or their managers, negotiate deals. This has to change quickly before CFB is gone forever.

I don’t wish Pena ill will but I also don’t wish him success. This is no longer amateur football. This is semi-pro, or more so, down right professional football.

I'm guessing that Pena wouldn't have sought to leave or been open to it, had he known that Angeli was on his way here.

He made the best decision for his own self-interests with what he knew at the time, knowing that his goal was the NFL.

He was a good player for us, so I won't pile on him too hard. But choosing penn state makes it impossible for me to root for him from here on out.

Exactly! My sentiments as well. But I believe Pena could have stayed and found that Angeli was coming before allowing the bar door to hit him in the butt on his way out.

The fact that he went to ped st is another matter entirely.

Pena is going to take a beating in that conference.

Amen brother. You explained what I’ve been trying to say and articulate for months/years now. Exactly right. Thx

This is so well said…

Peña was going to have a down year statistically no matter what.

We passed like silly last year. We had so many weapons and Peña was never really schemed for. And then there’s McCord.

This year, we will throw less and he will be more of the guy. Both are recipes for less touches. Going to Ped St is a bit of a win if he is less than last year, primarily in recruiting. “We maximize your talent and output. State College will give you a Little more money, but you’ll be seeing me back in the portal. Maybe.”

Think that weak mindset is really what made Fran cut and run or at least big part of it. If you're worried that a QB isn't a sure thing then work all Summer and make him better. You don't flinch and run at the first sign of adversity IF you are confident enough in your own abilities. Meeks wouldn't have, that's for damn sure.
