Top 5 Landing Spots for WR Kevin Concepcion in the Transfer Portal

5) Penn State Nittany Lions
Penn State is the lone team on this list headed to the college football playoffs after a strong 11-2 season. The Nittany Lions fell short in the Big Ten championship game, but even making it there should be a selling point for Kevin Concepcion, whose main goal will be to win. His fit on the offense would be seamless, and he'd provide the Nittany Lions with a reliable pass catcher, which the team desperately needs, with Tyler Warren headed to the NFL Draft. Suiting up for James Franklin in the Big Ten could be enough persuasion for the playmaker to make the transition if Penn State does indeed pursue him hard.
Top 5 Landing Spots for WR Kevin Concepcion in the Transfer Portal
When Kevin Concepcion entered his name into the transfer portal, he immediately became a top priority for teams seeking a certified playmaker in their offense. The NC State wide receiver has shown promise in his two seasons with the Wolfpack. Still, after a down year for the program, the playmaker has opted to look for another program to continue his collegiate journey. Concepcion has racked up 1,299 receiving yards and 16 touchdowns over the past two years and will have a big market for his services.
1) Alabama Crimson Tide
The Crimson Tide fell shy of the college football playoff this season, but they still managed to show they're a top football program in the nation in year one of the Kalen DeBoer era. With Alabama already losing multiple talented pass catchers to the transfer portal, Kevin Concepcion could slot in for the Crimson Tide and immediately be a focal point of the offense. The opportunity to play in the SEC and compete for a national championship alone could be enticing enough for DeBoer to land the wideout.
2) Texas A&M Aggies
Early reports suggests that Mike Elko and the Texas A&M Aggies are in the market for a big time receiver for their offense next season. With visits lined up for the coming days with the Aggies, it seems like Concepcion has interest in joining a rising program in the SEC.
3) South Carolina Gamecocks
The Gamecocks made a strong impression with their six-game winning streak to end the season. South Carolina may have missed the postseason, but they proved they are a program on the rise. With LaNorris Sellers looking like the real deal and the Gamecocks' need for wideouts, Kevin Concepcion could jump at the opportunity to stay close to his hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina. Not to mention that South Carolina also offers the chance to suit up in the SEC against top teams in the nation.
4) Colorado Buffaloes
Colorado will be in the mix for nearly every big-time player, with Deion Sanders running the ship for the Buffaloes. And despite losing their starting quarterback in the transfer portal, the team's strong recruiting class shows plenty of promise to limit any concerns Kevin Concepcion may have about who's passing him the ball. With the Buffaloes on the rise, it wouldn't be a shock to see the wide receiver find himself as a fit for Sanders' squad.
