Virginia Tech Lands Former Penn State WR Tyseer Denmark in Transfer Portal Move
Virginia Tech just added another intriguing piece to its wide receiver puzzle, bringing in former Penn State wideout Tyseer Denmark. The redshirt sophomore heads to Blacksburg with three years of eligibility remaining, and while his college production so far has been limited, the upside is clear.
Denmark, a 5-foot-10, 180-pound receiver out of Philadelphia, appeared in two seasons for the Nittany Lions after redshirting in 2024. Over that time, he logged 71 snaps and caught four passes for 45 yards and a touchdown.
That lone score came in dramatic fashion - a 15-yard grab from quarterback Beau Pribula as time expired in a 2024 matchup against Maryland. It was a flash of the playmaking potential that made Denmark a coveted recruit coming out of high school.
And make no mistake - Denmark’s high school résumé turned heads. He starred at Imhotep Charter Institute, helping lead the program to a perfect 15-0 record and a state title as a senior.
Recruiting services took notice: Rivals ranked him as a four-star prospect and the No. 8 player in Pennsylvania, while other outlets pegged him as a three-star talent. His offer sheet read like a who's who of college football powerhouses - Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan, USC, and more were all in the mix before he committed to Penn State.
Now, he’s part of a reshaped Hokies receiver room that’s been busy this offseason. Denmark joins fellow transfer additions Jeff Exinor Jr. (also from Penn State), Que’Sean Brown (Duke), and Marlion Jackson (Louisiana Tech). That makes four new wideouts and 24 total portal additions for Virginia Tech so far - a clear sign that the staff is intent on retooling the roster with both depth and upside.
For Denmark, the move offers a fresh start and a chance to carve out a bigger role in an offense that’s still finding its identity. And for Virginia Tech, it’s a low-risk, high-reward pickup of a player who once had blue-chip buzz and still has plenty of time to tap into that potential.
