On this week’s episode of Podward State, hosts Hailey Stutzman and Charlie Pegler were joined by Pittsburgh Steelers tight end and two-year Penn State football captain Pat Freiermuth.

Before jumping into the interview, Shannon Smith, Keeley Lamm, and Slaughter Joseph caught up on Penn State headlines and the Bryce Jordan Center’s recent slate of concerts.

Then, Freiermuth chatted about his recruitment journey to Happy Valley, memories of hearing his name called at the NFL Draft by Nittany Lion legend Franco Harris, and life as a pro in Pittsburgh.

To wrap up the show, Connor Krause dove into all things Penn State sports with Ryan Smith and Aidan Conrad.
