Penn State kicker Anthony Fera transferring to Texas (http://content.usatoday.com/communities/campusrivalry/post/2012/08/anthony-fera-transfer-penn-state-texas/1?AID=4992781&PID=4003003&SID=116c2agi9yz23#.UBq6jqPV4nF)
All-Big Ten kicker Anthony Fera has decided to transfer to Texas, dealing the Nittany Lions a major hit to their special teams.
There was no announcement from either school after a report by ESPN, though Fera had been removed from the Penn State roster on the school's website.
The move for his final two years of eligibility makes sense. The Longhorns are looking for replacement after place kicker Justin Tucker finished his career.
Fera gets to return to his native Texas after attending high school outside Houston at St. Pius X in Cypress.
---------------------
It looks like Fera is going to pull the trigger and transfer to Texas. This is very good news for Texas and was arguably their weakest position going into the season with the graduation of last year's punter-kicker Justin Tucker. A few months ago, Texas had a senior All-ACC punter transfer from Duke that should answer the punting concerns. And now they have one of the best kickers in the nation transfer in to plug the biggest hole - kicker.
