While Penn State football saw several moments of success over the 2018 season, special teams was not one of them. The Nittany Lions struggled mightily for most of the season in all facets of special teams. This spring represents the first opportunity to fix those problems.
Many of the same faces will be on special teams this season, including punter Blake Gillikin and kicker Jake Pinegar. Both players will work on their craft over the spring and will get to work in a simulated game during the annual Blue-White scrimmage.
A notable new face is that of special teams coach Joe Lorig.
