Another day, another transfer portal gift for Penn State. This time, it’s Duke defensive tackle Derrick Tangelo.

The 6-foot-2, 310-pound Tangelo has started 28 games for the Blue Devils over the last three seasons — 11 starts in 2018, five starts in 2019, and 11 starts in 2020. You can see his stats, courtesy of Sports-Reference, below.

Those aren’t eye-popping numbers, but Tangelo was largely a run-stuffing defensive tackle who will play a similar role here as a 1-Tech defensive tackle; a la Antonio Shelton.
