Penn State Kicker Spotlight | Penn State Nittany Lions Football News

Penn State’s new era kicks off with head coach Matt Campbell bringing fresh faces to the roster, especially in the kicking game. Redshirt freshman Mathew Parker, a two-star recruit from York, PA, walked on in May 2024 and got his first taste of action last season—nailing one extra point in the opener against Nevada. He’s expected to back up Ryan Barker, who’s returning for another year, while Rosa Cristiano joins as a versatile option, likely handling kickoffs. Bonus: Parker’s cousins include NFL veteran Arthur Moats, who played for the Bills and Steelers. The kicking unit is set, and the Nittany Lions are ready to roll.
