Brother
His brother name is not known. Michael Penix Jr.’s parents, Takisha and Michael Penix Sr., have played an important role in his life and football journey. Michael Penix Sr., former Pasco High School standout and collegiate player at Tennessee Tech, went into coaching after his college career. He coached at Pasco High School in Dade City and worked as a counselor and supervisor for troubled children at AMIKids.
Parents
Michael and Takisha Penix are the parents of Washington’s star QB. They welcomed them into the world in May 2000 and raised them in Tampa, Florida.
Transfer portal
In December 2021, embattled Penix decided to enter the transfer portal. His decision came after another season-ending injury in the Week 5 loss to Penn State.
Although Indiana did nothing wrong, it was time for a fresh start.
According to Sports Illustrated, Penix said of his decision, “I talked to Coach (Tom) Allen about it and it’s my decision.” “Look, I’m a Hoosier and I’ll always be a Hoosier. I’m graduating in May and I loved playing for Coach Allen and being a part of this team. These are all my brothers. But I’m just looking forward to a fresh start.” , I want a fresh start. I want to finish out my college career in the best possible way, and I feel like I need to do that somewhere else.”
Eligibility
Penix has two years of eligibility remaining. Due to several injuries, Penix played only 20 games overall in his collegiate career. It makes sense for him to get a fresh start in his final two years of eligibility.
