What is Penn State getting in its two new preferred walk-on commitments?

Penn State landed a pair of preferred walk-on commitments, one a punter and the other a receiver, punter, and perhaps future defender, on Tuesday evening.

Concord, N.C., Cox Mill punter John Brosnahan visited Penn State for the Indiana game and took the program up on its offer just about two weeks later. He's the No. 16 punter in the Class of 2018, according to Chris Sailer Kicking's player rankings, and he stands 6-foot, 185 pounds.

"John is an exceptional punting talent," Sailer writes. A great athlete with an elite leg. Punts with outstanding consistency.
