Pat Freiermuth the next great Penn State tight end

Penn State has had a good run of talented tight ends throughout history, from Ted Kwalick and Kyle Brady, to Andrew Quarless, Jesse James, and Mike Gesicki. The next name in that line of all-time greats could be sophomore Pat Freiermuth.

The current sophomore emerged last year as a true freshman from a crowded depth chart at tight end. He quickly stood out from the crowd and by the end of the season, was a favorite target of quarterback Trace McSorley.

Freiermuth finished second on the team in 2018 with 26 receptions for 368 yards. His eight touchdowns were a team high.
