Nine different players caught a pass in the Blue-White Game, including the previously mentioned pass to freshman running back Nick Singleton. With no [autotag]Parker Washington[/autotag] in the spring game, Penn State got a chance to get transfer addition [autotag]Mitchell Tinsley[/autotag] involved in a key role. Tinsley scored the game’s only touchdown of the afternoon.

It may not have gone down in the official box score, but [autotag]Trey Wallace[/autotag] came up with one of the best plays of the game with his catch in the end zone in a red zone seven-on-seven drill in the first half.

 

Tight Ends: C

It is tough to get on the tight ends too much based on one spring performance, but the tight ends were not making too many dents in the official box score. But this also may not be much of a reason to be concerned.

The combination of [autotag]Brenton Strange[/autotag] and [autotag]Theo Johnson[/autotag] should still be a worthy duo in the fall, and [autotag]Tyler Warren[/autotag] continues to provide value as a blocker. Warren made one of the key blocks on the only touchdown of the game, scored by Tinsley.
