Brett Eskildsen joins Penn State ahead of week one opener against Marshall

Penn State wide receiver Brett Eskildsen prepares for his debut with the Nittany Lions in the upcoming Week 1 game against Marshall. A transfer from Iowa State, Eskildsen arrives in State College after leading the Cyclones in receiving last season. He recorded 523 yards and five touchdowns during his final campaign in the Big 12. Penn State coaching staff expects the 6-1, 198-pound receiver to play a physical role on the boundary and contribute heavily in red-zone and late-down situations. The team seeks to strengthen a receiving corps that has historically struggled to produce high-level offensive results. This matchup serves as the initial test for several new transfers looking to establish themselves within the Big Ten conference format this season.
