Penn State Tight End Joey Schlaffer Removed From Roster After Coaching Change

The redshirt sophomore has not announced a transfer, with his removal viewed as an early sign of offseason roster movement.

Overview

  • Schlaffer was taken off Penn State’s online roster Wednesday, the first reported player departure of the season.
  • He did not travel to Columbus for the loss to Ohio State, a common early indicator of an impending exit.
  • Limited reps behind Theo Johnson, Tyler Warren and Khalil Dinkins capped his impact, with his lone catch a touchdown against Villanova this season.
  • The Exeter Township native arrived as a four-star 2023 recruit ranked among Pennsylvania’s top prospects by 247Sports.
  • No transfer-portal filing has been announced; local reports estimate two years of eligibility remain, and the program’s head-coach decision could shape further moves.
