Another member of Penn State's men's basketball program is entering the transfer portal, marking another blow to the roster's stability this offseason for head coach Mike Rhoades. The newest entrant to the NCAA transfer portal from Penn State is guard Dominick Stewart, who reportedly his name in the portal on Wednesday.
Stewart improved his game and his position on the Penn State roster throughout the 2025-26 season by averaging 6.6 points per game, starting 24 out of 32 games along the way. A Mississippi native, Stewart was also one of Penn State's better defenders during the season.
Stewart joined the Penn State program in the Class of 2024. Now, two years later, Penn State has no more players from that recruiting class on the roster thanks to the transfer portal. Others in the Class of 2024 to have moved on include Miles Goodman (who transferred to Oregon and has just entered the transfer portal this week), Jahvin Carter (transferred to Middle Tennessee), Hudson Ward (transferred to Western Michigan and is back in the transfer portal this offseason), and Joe Sedora (transferred to Division 2 West Chester University).
Even the players Penn State added from the transfer portal in the Class of 2024 have all moved on or are in the process of moving on. Yanic Konan Niederhauswer was an NBA draft pick last year and Kachi Nzeh transferred to Little Rock. Freddie Dilione V and Eli Rice are currently in the NCAA transfer portal looking for new homes along with Stewart.
A total of six Penn State players have entered their names in the NCAA transfer portal database. Basketball players have until April 21 to make an official transfer move, at which point the window will close until the following offseason. A school's transfer window will only open again in the event of a coaching change.
Here is a quick recap of which Penn State players have opted to enter the transfer portal this offseason.
