Khalil Dinkins
Measurables: 6’4″, 243 lb
Year: Redshirt sophomore
Expected role: Backup tight end
Penn State’s depth at the tight end position is what will be in the spotlight this spring. [autotag]Khalil Dinkins[/autotag] played in eight games for the Nittany Lions as a reserve option last fall, and he caught four passes for 53 yards. With the position pretty much set at the top of the depth chart, expect Dinkins to get some good looks in the spring to continue his development.
Joey Schlaffer
Measurables: 6’5″, 243 lb
Year: Freshman
Expected role: Backup tight end
One of the fresh faces at the position this spring will be [autotag]Joey Schlaffer[/autotag], an early enrollee from Penn State’s Class of 2023. The four-star tight end will get an early jump on his development to allow him to have a chance to play a reserve role with the team in the fall.
Schlaffer is one of two four-star tight ends from Penn State’s Class of 2023, but [autotag]Andrew Rappleyea[/autotag] will not join the program until after the spring semester.
