Kase Evans Enters Penn State QB Race

Penn State football kicks off 2026 with a fresh roster led by new head coach Matt Campbell, who’s bringing in a wave of transfers and recruits—including quarterback Kase Evans, a 6’3”, 200-pound three-star freshman from Lexington, Texas. Originally committed to Campbell at Iowa State, Evans flipped his pledge to join the Nittany Lions and enrolled in the spring of 2026. He’s expected to serve as a deep backup behind starters Rocco Becht and Alex Manske, both also transfers from Iowa State. Evans joins fellow freshman QB Peyton Falzone, and his football legacy runs deep—his dad played QB at Houston, and his grandfather was a defensive end for the Houston Oilers.
