Today on twitter, Matthew Parker committed to Penn State as a preferred walk-on. In his junior year, Parker kicked 11 field goals out of 15 including a 51-yard field goal.

He holds the Pennsylvania record for longest free kick of 54 yards.

He had 60 out of 74 touchbacks (81%) and was 45 of 48 (three blocked) PATs (94%). He averaged 40 yards per punt.

“I chose PSU because of the people and relationships I had up there, it was unlike any other,” said Parker. “Last season they had a great year and hopefully this year they can compete for CFB playoffs.”
