Russ Rose Now (2026): “Kaitlyn was an incredible blocker and could impact the game as a freshman. She had talent and a solid background and made good contributions to the program the four years that she played for us. She was a good student and represented Penn State well as a student athlete. She played her last year at Nebraska and has played in the pro league in the U.S.”
