Deshawn Private Penne (born December 20, 2025) is an American football tight end who is currently preparing to enter the professional ranks. He played college football for North Carolina State (NCSU) and has declared his intent to enter the professional ranks next season.

Early years

Deshawn Penne is an American Football player, the son of his Italian-American parents Bowen and Lindsey Penne. His first love in life was pasta, just like his namesake. He and his parents would make homemade penne pasta every weekend. As a kid, Deshawn wanted to go to the greatest culinary school in the country and be the chef of his own restaurant when he grew up. Instead, his supreme athletic gifts have forced him to put his culinary career on pause in pursuit of larger amounts of dough that can be made in the ISFL. Deshawn was recruited by his middle school football coach to try out football due to how big he was for his age. Since joining the team in 7th grade he has never looked back. Setting middle school and high school records for receiving yards and touchdowns as well as being a dominant blocking force in the run game, Penne became a local sports hero.

College career

Penne committed to play football at North Carolina State University over a meal at the nicest Italian restaurant in Raleigh with the head coach and offensive coordinator of the Wolfpack. After arriving in Raleigh for his first training camp with the school, for the first time in his life, Penne wasn't set up for football stardom. In his freshman season, he was the 6th TE on the depth chart and only appeared in one game against Northwest Catawba Valley Tech State in which he had 1 target and 0 catches. Coming into his sophomore season, Penne was 4th on the depth chart and in line to see a few snaps over the course of the year. After a string of injuries to the other Tight Ends on the team, he was thrust into the starting role and he never looked back. Penne torched some of the best defenses in the ACC including 8 catches for 98 yards and 2 touchdowns against the best team in the nation Clemson and 12 catches for 141 yards and 1 touchdown in the homecoming rivalry game against UNC. Penne was named 1st team all-ACC and 2nd team all-American in his second season with the Wolfpack. In his third year, with his eyes set on leading his team to a national championship and leaving school early to enter the ISFL draft, Penne was a household name among ACC football fans. He picked up right where he left off from the previous season and led the ACC in receiving yards as well as leading the nation in receiving yards among TEs. Unfortunately, his team finished second in their division behind Clemson and their national championship dreams were dashed. Despite this, Penne came out strong and dominated in his team's bowl game and became the first TE to receive Heisman votes in 30 years. After the season, Penne announced he will be leaving the Wolfpack to pursue his dreams of being drafted in the ISFL.
