Penn State lineman Landon Tengwall’s career has come to a close.
Tengwall, who was slated to start at left guard for the Nittany Lions this fall, has medically retired from football. He announced the decision on Wednesday night.
Tengwall missed the majority of preseason camp with an undisclosed injury.
“It is with a heavy heart that I am announcing my retirement from football,” Tengwall wrote in a statement. “Unfortunately, I have sustained an injury that will not allow me to safely continue to play the game I love and that has given me so much.
“I want to thank my family, my friends, Coach Franklin, Coach Trautwein, my teammates and all the Penn State coaches and staff. They have all provided invaluable support through this difficult time.
“Penn State will always be my home. I will always be a proud Penn State football player. Penn State has the greatest fans in the world, and I want to thank all of you for supporting me during my time on the field and now in my next chapter.”
It’s a devastating decision for Tengwall to have to make.
Tengwall came to Penn State in the 2021 recruiting class as a highly-touted prospect from Our Lady of Good Counsel High School (Md.). A top-100 prospect nationally, he chose the Nittany Lions over Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Michigan and Ohio State.
