Former Penn State quarterbacks Christian Veilleux, Ta'Quan Roberson and Michael Johnson Jr. are on the move again in the NCAA Transfer Portal.
Three former Penn State quarterbacks are changing teams once more, having entered the NCAA Transfer Portal during the spring window. Christian Veilleux leads the way. The one-time Nittany Lion quarterback announced Wednesday that he will transfer to Georgia State after spending the 2023 season at Pitt.. In addition, Ta'Quan Roberson, who played two seasons at Connecticut, has re-entered the transfer portal. As has Michael Robinson Jr.
Veilleux, who left Penn State after the 2022 season, played in seven games at Pitt last season as a replacement for Phil Jurkovec. He completed 94 of 184 passes for 1,179 yards, seven touchdowns and eight interceptions. Veilleux's completion rate was 51.1 percent and he finished his season going 13-for-22, with a pick-6 and two fumbles, in a November loss to Syracuse.
Roberson, who briefly served as Penn State's backup quarterback to Sean Clifford in 2021, moved on to Connecticut for the next two seasons. He started 11 games last year, completing 58.3 percent of his passes for 2,075 yards, 12 touchdowns and six interceptions. Roberson went 15-for-19 and threw two touchdown passes in a 38-31 win over Rice. Roberson has one season of eligibility remaining.
