There's also a rumor that Fera could be visiting with another PSU player. I hope it's a college ready OT.
Floss where are the Fera visit rumors coming from?

I think we have a winner of the off season. Josh Cochran looks like he spent the off season in Bennie Wylie's garage.
Harvey posted his top 5 on twitter and some fan asked about UT omission - that was his exact response
Random question...anyone know when we find out the game time for opening day? I'm going and I can't find it anywhere yet.
It's my first game at DKR.
He likes to carry Ship around in his pocket:
OT Josh Cochran and WR Jaxon Shipley
You're going to have a blast. I have no idea when the time will be released but the opening home game is usually a 6 p.m. or 7 p.m. start. I remember Colt's redshirt freshman year UT played North Texas at 11 a.m. but I don't recall a morning game on opening week other than that.Random question...anyone know when we find out the game time for opening day?

If Fera doesn't know the secret art of the rugby punt, don't even bring him on campus.Seriously, maybe getting an all-conference kicker will keep Mack from doing that over and over.
No idea who this source is, but...

By my count, the only starters who haven't announced they're returning are Silas Redd, Anthony Fera, and Sean Stanley.
DT Scott Pagano of Honolulu, HI committed to Clemson on Tuesday. Not a huge surprise because he has a ton of family in South Carolina who graduated from there, but Florida and LSU were always the top two he mentioned.

I saw that. Crazy idea, but what if the second PSU player visiting with Fera is Sean Stanely? Stanely is a DE, a need position at Texas, and had 4.5 sacks in 6 games last year.
Northwestern's new gear:
TE MJ McFarland, WR Jaxon Shipley, WR Miles Onyegbule, OT Josh Cochran

Penn State kicker Fera interested in Texas
By William Wilkerson | Jul 26, 2012 1:52 PM
Penn State senior kicker Anthony Fera has contacted the Longhorns about joining their program, according to a source close to the situation.
A season ago, Fera, a Cypress (Texas) St. Pius X product, became the first Nittany Lion since Chirs Bahr in 1975 to be the starter for field goals, kickoffs and punts.
A candidate for the Ray Guy Award, Fera was selected as the 2011 first-team All-Big Ten punter by ESPN.com and second-team all-conference by the media and coaches. He was also a semifinalist for the 2011 Lou Groza Award.
He connected on 14 of 17 field goal attempts last season (82.4 percent conversion rate) and was 11-of-11 on attempts inside 40 yards. Fera averaged 42 yards on 64 punts with 18 kicks landing inside the 20, and had 12 punts that exceeded 50 yards.
For Texas, which is still searching for a replacement for the departed Justin Tucker, Fera could be the ideal answer.
The Longhorns completed spring practice without concrete answers to whom they would have manning each of their kicking duties.
Will Russ, a heralded sop re from Shreveport, La., redshirted in 2010 and played in only one game in 2011. Nick Jordan, a high school All-American from Coppell, Texas, could be the answer, but hasn’t gotten a chance to prove it yet. Nick Rose could factor into the conversation, but he is a freshman as well.
The only kicker on the roster with experience is senior Alex King, who transferred from Duke. But he would likely just punt if given the opportunity.
So maybe there is room for a former Under Armour All-American to come back to his home state and contribute right away. Texas has at least one scholarship available with Paden Kelley's decision to quit in June.
Also, part of the NCAAs ruling in connection with the heavy sanctions placed on Penn State says that if a player transfers for the upcoming fall semester to a school that has already reached its scholarship limits for this season, the school can exceed those numbers for 2012-13 as long as it reduces its limits proportionately for next year.
Yeah...
Why is Major Applewhite posing as a Tech fan
I noticed that he wore those glasses during the season, is it for sight or what?
Yeah...
LEAVE MAJOR ALOOOONE!
It's actually Major's birthday today.
Burton stated today that Fera will either stay at PSU or transfer to Texas. It could go either way.
Fera is key in my opinion. Texas wouldn't pursue Fera if they felt comfortable with Jordan or Rose. The reports that Rose has passed Jordan in the place kicker pecking is very concerning. I would like to see Rose and Jordan redshirt this season and Fera and King handle all of the kicking / punting duties.
If you don't think the kicking game is important, go talk to Nick Saban. He offered a 2013 long snapper a full scholarship.
" I would like to see Rose and Jordan redshirt this season and Fera and King handle all of the kicking / punting duties".
I am not an advocate for shirting kickers...no reason to extend roster spot. 2013 recruiting a good example of how tight numbers can get.
If Fera comes aboard and wins job--- let attrition take its course among kickers but no RS!
Nebraska will be wearing this for their game against Wisconsin:
