Benjamin Brahmer gives Penn State a massive, proven mismatch at tight end
Brahmer arrives at Penn State in 2026 as a 6-foot-7, 250-plus-pound transfer who posted a career-best 37 catches for 446 yards and 6 touchdowns in the 2025 season at Iowa State, and he was viewed as a four-star, top-30 transfer with All-Big 12 buzz. His calling card is simple: he’s a huge target who can stress defenses in the red zone and in the seam, and multiple Penn State previews say he’s positioned to be a major piece, if not the starter, in a tight end room that wants production now. The fun part? He’s not just a size story—coaches have said his game has taken a real jump after finally getting a healthy spring.
