Good question. He beat out a kid that was the punter all of last year. Riley Thompson was a good, not great but good, punter all of last year. According to the PSU webste:

Currently holds a 44.2 punt average as a Nittany Lion, ranking third all-time at Penn State. Notable: Owns 60 career punts landing inside the 20-yard line and 20 inside the 10-yard line...Has just eight touchbacks in 157 career punts and 36 career kicks of 50+ yards.

I hope he doesn't have to chase down a punt returner because he's not catching anybody at nearly 300 lbs.

He would be much better if his kickoffs landed in bounds.

Someone commented after watching him punt that he takes one too many steps before punting and could be more susceptible to a block?
Anyone else see that?

Yes, he boomed it 67 yards but took 3-4 steps. Obviously teams are scouting that. Something to watch going forward. But he may not have to punt this week.
