Pat Freiermuth and Brenton Strange are other good Penn State tight ends to go in the draft. At Penn State, I know I could get developed if I go there. That’s one of the things that stand out about them. They’re very focused on the development of tight ends at Penn State.”

Considering he’s made eight visits to James Franklin’s program over the last couple of years, Penn State appeared to be a strong favorite for Olesh. However, if the rumors are true, that appears to have changed with the defending national champions, Michigan being the current favorite.
Penn State’s Class of 2025 currently has 21 commitments and is ranked by Rivals.com has the No. 7 recruiting class in the country. Of those 21 recruits, one is a tight end, Matt Henderson, from Powhatan, Virginia.
