Penn State went to the transfer portal for a kicker last season and it ended up working out tremendously well, as Columbia product Alex Felkins brought a consistent competency on field goals and PATs. With Felkins out of eligibility, the Nittany Lions once again went to the transfer portal well for kicking help, landing Tulsa kicker Chase Meyer.
Meyer was a true sophomore for the Golden Hurricanes in 2023, meaning he’ll have three years to play two for the Nittany Lions. With punter Riley Thompson being given two extra seasons of eligibility, it should lock in the same punter and kicker for Penn State for the 2024 and 2025 seasons.
