Last year this time, tight end was a bit of a question mark. Penn State was tasked with having to replace record-setting Mike Gesicki, and while there were numerous options, those options were quite unproven. Now just a year later, and things look much rosier for a tight end spot that could have an All-Big Ten candidate as its starter, and sports some unbelievable depth behind him.
After being a part of the tight end platoon for the first four games of last season, Pat Freiermuth eventually separated himself from the pack over the last nine games of the year, en route to a 26/368/8 freshman campaign that excited the masses in Happy Valley.
