It appears a weekend visit to State College was enough to make a transfer decision in favor of Penn State. On Sunday, kicker [autotag]Chase Meyer[/autotag] announced his commitment to the Nittany Lions out of the transfer portal from Tulsa.
Meyer’s commitment to Penn State helps fill a vacancy on the special teams portion of the Penn State roster with the departure of Alex Felkins, who came to the program a year ago from the transfer portal as well. Meyer will compete for the starting job with returning Sander Sahaydak, who had some struggles in 2023 before Felkins took over the primary kicking duties.
Meyer will have three years of eligibility to play two seasons in State College, so he could be more than a one-year figure for the special teams.
Meyer is coming off a season with 17 field goals on 20 attempts for Tulsa, and he was 30-for-31 on extra-point attempts. Like Felkins, Meyer also has some Ivy League experience with a season at the University of Pennsylvania in 2022. Meyer is a California native who played for Mater Dei.
Meyer is Penn State’s second commitment from the transfer portal on the board for this year’s transfer cycle. He joins offensive tackle Alan Herron from Division 2 Shorter University.
Meyer reportedly chose Penn State over Oklahoma for his final transfer decision.
