Mac Hippenhammer started his Penn State career as a two sport athlete, but this is no longer the case. Hippenhammer came to State College looking to play both football and baseball for the Nittany Lions. However, he is no longer listed on the Nittany Lions football roster.
Hippenhammer was coming off a redshirt sophomore season in which he failed to capitalize on opportunities that were there to be had in a struggling wide receiver room. He played in eight games in 2019 and his lone reception was a 15 yard gain against Indiana. He also returned a pair of punts in the season opener against Idaho, fumbling one of them.
