Brett Eskildsen: 'I feel better' after Penn State spring practice

Penn State wide receiver Brett Eskildsen said after the Blue-White spring practice that he feels “better than ever” heading into the 2026 season. (pennlive.com) Eskildsen is one of the most experienced receivers on Matt Campbell’s first Penn State roster after transferring from Iowa State during the winter portal cycle. (247sports.com) (pennlive.com) At Iowa State in 2025, he played all 12 games, started seven, and finished with 30 catches for 526 yards and five touchdowns, according to Penn State’s official roster. (gopsusports.com) Those numbers made him Iowa State’s receiving-yardage leader, and his 17.53 yards per catch ranked 24th nationally and second in the Big 12 among qualifying players. (gopsusports.com) (247sports.com) Penn State used a public Blue-White practice on April 25 instead of its usual spring game, giving fans only a partial look at a receiver room that remains one of the roster’s biggest questions. (statecollege.com) (sports.yahoo.com) Campbell said earlier this month that Eskildsen and veteran receiver Chase Sowell were “ahead” of where he expected them to be in spring workloads. (247sports.com) That made Eskildsen’s post-practice update more notable: Penn State is counting on proven transfers after replacing major pieces from its 2025 offense. (pennlive.com) (sports.yahoo.com) For now, Penn State leaves spring with Eskildsen healthy, productive on paper, and positioned as one of the clearest answers in a still-unsettled wide receiver group.
