Formerly the lone signee at his position in the 2023 class, former Penn State quarterback Bekkem Kritza has now found his new transfer home.
Kritza will play his redshirt freshman season at FCS Alabama A&M, he announced via social media on Monday.
Kritza joined Penn State as a three-star prospect and the No. 51 quarterback in his class, according to the 247Sports Composite.
The 6-5, 199-pounder was an obvious project piece when he enrolled, needing to not only work on his frame but also his passing accuracy. That was after a bit of a whirlwind recruitment that saw Kritza transfer five times as a high schooler and lose his starting QB job twice at the same program.

However, there were portions of the coaching staff that strongly believed in his potential.
“I think that kid is unbelievable,” director of player personnel Kenny Sanders said on signing day. “I think I told somebody once, he might have the best raw arm talent I’ve ever seen coming out of high school. … He’s such an unpolished gem, in my opinion.”
After not appearing in a game as a true freshman at Penn State, Kritza will have four years of eligibility remaining at Alabama A&M. 247Sports rated him as a three-star transfer and the No. 90 QB in the portal.
