Few players saw their career reach such heights with the Nittany Lions after starting as poorly as Mike Gesicki’s did. After arriving in Happy Valley as one of the top tight end recruits in the country Gesicki battled drops his first two years on campus. In his final two years on campus, he exploded to become one of the top playmaking tight ends in the country.
Gesicki finished his Penn State career with 129 receptions for 1,481 yards and 15 touchdowns. Most of this damage came in 2016 and 2017, as he helped the Nittany Lions win a Big Ten Championship in 2016 and a Fiesta Bowl in 2017.
