Penn State football retains another Nittany Lion eligible to return for the 2026 season. Offensive linemen Cooper Cousins and Anthony Donkoh recently made their respective announcements, and another offensive weapon made his.
Tight end Andrew Rappleyea, who went under-appreciated until interim head coach Terry Smith stepped into his abrupt role, posted on Twitter/X on Tuesday, Dec. 30.
His statement read:
"I want to take a moment to thank Coach Howle and Coach Franklin for their contributions to my Penn State journey, helping me grow immensely both as a player and, more importantly, as a man.
