STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — The Iowa State-to-Penn State pipeline is officially open.
On Sunday, the Nittany Lions secured commitments from two key transfers who played under Matt Campbell in Ames: Tight End Benjamin Brahmer and Offensive Lineman Will Tompkins.
Benjamin Brahmer (TE)
Brahmer, a 6-foot-7 target, was a matchup nightmare in the Big 12. His decision to follow Campbell and new Offensive Coordinator Taylor Mouser makes perfect sense. With Penn State looking to revitalize its tight end usage, Brahmer provides an immediate, proven receiving threat to pair with Luke Reynolds.
Will Tompkins (OL)
Tompkins brings crucial depth and experience to an offensive line that just lost J’ven Williams to the portal. Known for his mobility and understanding of Ryan Clanton’s blocking scheme, Tompkins is expected to compete for immediate playing time.
