Pat Freiermuth found himself in a familiar place Wednesday night: The end zone. As the Nittany Lions prepared for No. 5 Michigan, the true freshman tight end beat a member of the scout team off the line, laid out over the middle and snagged a 10-yard touchdown pass before the ball had a chance to bounce off the Holuba Hall turf.
After the noteworthy catch, James Franklin and tight ends coach Tyler Bowen pulled the first-year starter aside and gave him a few pointers. Freiermuth, just eight games into his college career, still has room to grow.
