Andrew Rappleyea brings reliable hands, veteran presence, and red-zone juice to Penn State’s tight end room
In the 2025 season, Andrew Rappleyea emerged as a steady Penn State contributor, catching 20 passes for 180 yards and 3 touchdowns while starting 8 games; he also battled a foot injury that limited him in spring 2026, but reports say he was expected back for the season. He’s a 6-foot-4, 242- to 252-pound tight end who offers solid ball skills, trusted blocking, and leadership value, with local coverage calling him one of the more vocal locker-room presences. If you want a dependable TE who can help in the run game and finish drives, he’s a very useful fit.
