For a time, it looked like Penn State wouldn’t take a tight end in the 2019 class. The Nittany Lions were after Jahleel Billingsley, but after he committed to Alabama, viable tight end options appeared few and far between. But then Brenton Strange camped for the staff on July 29, and left Happy Valley with an offer. While Ohio State (who also offered after a camp performance) made things tight, the Nittany Lions landed Strange’s commitment coming off the heels of his official visit on October 1.
