Another productive Penn State defensive player has decided to follow Jim Knowles from State College to Knoxville for the 2026 season.
Transfer linebacker Amare Campbell announced on Friday night that he has committed to Tennessee. On3’s Hayes Fawcett shared the news of yet another Penn State-Tennessee connection taking place for next season.
Knowles’ move from defensive coordinator at Penn State in 2025 to DC at Tennessee in 2026 was already paying dividends on Thursday night with former 4-star defensive lineman Xavier Gilliam transferring from State College to Knoxville.
One night after Gilliam followed Knowles to Tennessee, Campbell is doing the same, and he’ll have one more season of eligibility to make a difference alongside Knowles in Knoxville. The junior was a tackling machine at Penn State this past season, piling up 103 total tackles, 64 of them solo, along with 3 sacks, 1 pass defended, 1 forced fumble and 1 fumble recovery.
