Another postseason honor has come in for Penn State football. This time, three freshmen Nittany Lions have been recognized. Tight end Pat Freiermuth, wide receiver KJ Hamler, and linebacker Micah Parsons have all been named to The Athletic Freshman All-America Team after putting up strong seasons in their first year on the field.
Penn State placed more players on the list than any other school.
Freiermuth, a true freshman, enjoyed a breakout campaign in his first season with the Nittany Lions. He quickly emerged as the best Nittany Lion tight end and became a reliable target for quarterback Trace McSorley.
