Penn State commit Bekkam Kritza is staying put at Miami Central

Original reports of his pending transfer were inaccurate

Liz Kritza, the aunt of 2025 3-star quarterback Bekkam Kritza, confirmed to SBLive that her nephew is not transferring from Miami Central High School, despite reports to the contrary.

The Portal 305 reported on Wednesday morning that the Penn State commit was leaving the Rockets and heading back to the west coast to play for Santa Margarita High School in California. SBLive Sports aggregated this report, in an earlier version of this story, as well and regrets this error.

Kritza transferred to Miami Central in April, 2023 from left Santa Margarita.
