As of January 23, 2025, there have been no official announcements regarding a 5-star wide receiver transferring from Penn State to the University of Washington. However, former Penn State wide receiver Omari Evans has expressed interest in transferring and has scheduled visits to several universities, including Washington.
Evans, a 6-foot, 189-pound senior, appeared in 38 games for the Nittany Lions, starting six. In the 2024 season, he recorded 21 receptions for 415 yards and five touchdowns, with a notable 38-yard touchdown catch in the Fiesta Bowl against Boise State. His career totals at Penn State include 30 receptions for 564 yards and seven touchdowns.
It’s important to note that Evans was not a 5-star recruit coming out of high school. Therefore, the claim of a “5-star” receiver departing from Penn State to Washington is not accurate based on current information. For the most up-to-date details, it’s advisable to follow official announcements from the athletic departments of the respective universities.
