WATCH: Penn State legend Mike Gesicki reveals unique arrival for spring game

As Penn State prepares for its annual Blue-White spring game, the stars from years past have arrived to support the next generation of players. Current Miami Dolphins tight end and former Penn State star Mike Gesicki is among those returning to State College, and he did so in style.

In a video posted on his Instagram story, and later on Penn State’s Twitter page, Mike Gesicki revealed that he made his arrival on a helicopter this weekend.

Over four seasons with the Nittany Lions, Gesicki caught 129 passes for 1,481 yards and 15 touchdowns before heading to the NFL as a second-round pick. He has since become a key piece of the Dolphins’ offense with 199 receptions for 2,255 yards and 13 touchdowns.

Penn State’s first spring game since 2019 is set to kick off at 2 p.m. ET live from Happy Valley with the Big Ten Network carrying the broadcast.

Penn State names honorary coach

Zack Williams, a program assistant to the Penn State football team, will be an honorary assistant coach for the Nittany Lions’ annual spring game Saturday afternoon. Williams couldn’t thank head coach James Franklin enough for letting him be a part of the team, let alone a spring game honorary coach.

William’s dream was to be a part of the Penn State football team, which had opened up this past season for him after being a life-long fan of the Nittany Lions. He worked with the football team behind the scenes, and even made an appearance on College GameDay, where he brought the same joy and good-spirited fun he brings the Penn State locker room each day.

“I don’t think there’s a happier person in State College than Zack,” a video reveal said. “He’s doing what he loves. He has his dream job, and that’s our goal. To help the kids get their dream jobs.”
