Penn State has a track record of producing NFL tight-ends as of late, and that is why [autotag]Joey Schlaffer[/autotag] decided to commit to Penn State this year. Schlaffer had a front-row seat to what [autotag]James Franklin[/autotag] and his staff has done in recent years and thus he decided he wanted to be a Nittany Lion.
Coming out of Reading, Pennsylvania, Schlaffer has a good frame and athletic playstyle that you like to see from the new breed of tight end. He will have to compete with other tight-end recruits and upper classmen when he arrives on campus but he has shown he has no issue competing. Being a multi-sport athlete has shown he loves to compete and can do so in a multifaceted way.
For [autotag]James Franklin[/autotag], he loves getting these types of players when they are still pieces of moldable clay and Joey Schlaffer is one hundred percent that for him.
