  Draft Scout by Conference









  The next starter at tight end will have big shoes to fill with the departure of Pat Freiermuth - who broke the school receiving touchdown record for a tight end with 16 in his career. Fortunately for Penn State, there are multiple options to replace the now-Pittsburgh Steeler. The first crack at the job could go to Brenton Strange, who brings the best combination of experience and upside to the table. Strange is a very good athlete, but isn't the strongest blocker in the world and lacks elite size at the position. Because of that - while Strange should get the first chance - we'll project sophomore Theo Johnson as the starter.

Johnson is entering his second season on campus after joining the team as a highly touted recruit out of high school. He was a top-75 player in the 2020 class and the No. 3 tight end in the group. That standing was based largely on his ability as a pass catcher, his elite size and his very good athleticism. While he rarely blocked in high school, Johnson has the requisite ability to become an above average run blocker in college. He's listed at 6-foot-6, 250 pounds and already showed flashes of how he would look in an expanded role last season. Johnson hauled in four passes for 56 yards in seven games played last year, including two catches for 42 yards in the team's season finale against Illinois. - Centre Times
