Going into the 2025 football season, Nittany Lions Wire will examine each player listed on the Penn State roster. Over the preseason, each profile will cover the player’s background, how recruiting websites rated them coming out of high school, and what role they will play for James Franklin this season.
One of two freshmen tight ends to arrive on campus this offseason, Brian Kortovich became a late addition to the class after picking up interest late in 2024. He originally committed to Purdue, his only other power conference offer, before flipping to Penn State when he picked up an offer in December 2024. He enrolled just two months later.

Kortovich didn’t receive much interest from Power Four schools but jumped on an offer from Penn State, a school with a long history of producing NFL prospects at the position.

It’ll likely be multiple years before Kortovich has a chance to shine on the depth chart, with several upperclassmen and talented prospects competing with him for playing time. The quickest path to the field may be through special teams for his early years on campus.
