Penn State coach Matt Campbell says freshman QB Peyton Falzone made some “really special plays” on his first day practicing with the tight ends.

Peyton Falzone is at tight end now for Penn State instead. Why are the Lions doing that now? "I think what's best for him and maybe best for the football team right now was his ability to kind of see maybe what he can do," Matt Campbell said. Story: https://t.co/lUMmKlE7xt

Tyler Donohue

Matt Campbell says Class of 2026 QB recruit Peyton Falzone has produced some "wow" moments and "big catches" through two practices at tight end. The 6-5, 220-pound freshman went sub-4.5 in 40-yard dash and produced a 38-inch vertical leap, according to Campbell.
