Penn State reserve offensive lineman Des Holmes has entered the Transfer Portal, sources have confirmed to @247SportsPortal. A redshirt senior, he'll play his last available year elsewhere. https://t.co/cRGlkob4NY @247Sports

Holmes came to Penn State out of Cardinal O'Hara in Springfield, PA, as a three-star recruit in the class of 2017. Following a redshirt year, he played in 34 games throughout his career. It seemed as though he'd be in the mix to challenge for a starting or primary backup role in 2021, but that never materialized.
