2022 Spring Position Preview: Tight Ends

Theo Johnson

Last season Theo Johnson appeared in all 13 games and started six of them. Now preparing for his junior season, Johnson will likely emerge as the starting tight end of the Nittany Lions.

Johnson hauled in 19 passes for 213 yards and a touchdown last season. An athletic freak, it would be nice to see Penn State incorporate Johnson into the passing game a bit more this season. Especially in the red zone where he can be an absolute matchup nightmare.

Tight end will be a competition to determine a starter. With Johnson being the best all-around tight end in the room look for him to emerge from that competition victorious.
