Penn State tight end Luke Reynolds led the Nittany Lions in touchdowns during training camp, signaling a potential role this season.
Penn State concluded training camp by highlighting some of its top preseason performers, including a pair of freshmen who will play roles with the Nittany Lions this season.
Like current Penn State tight end Tyler Warren, Reynolds began his high school career as a quarterback before transitioning to tight end. Reynolds gained about 20 pounds since arriving at Penn State, prompting strength coach Chuck Losey to pronounce himself "super impressed" with the freshman tight end.
The competition at tight end will be deep, with returning players Khalil Dinkins, Andrew Rappleyea, Jerry Cross and Joey Schlaffer joining Warren. However, Franklin said that Reynolds will play this season. Still, Penn State is looking for a fourth safety, with Lane pressing for the role. He was a 4-star prospect, and three-sport athlete, at Maryland's Gilman School. Lane brings size and speed to the Nittany Lions' secondary. He ran as part of Gilman's 400-meter relay team at the Penn Relays.
