Kohl’s Kicking ranks Gillikin as a five-star prospect and the fourth-best punter in the Class of 2016. Entering the 2015 season, Penn State has zero scholarship specialists, and with much-maligned punting problems last season, this is a key pickup for Franklin and his staff. In fact, the last scholarship specialist to come to Penn State was some guy named Sam Ficken — for Gillikin, that’s not bad company to be in.
Gillikin’s Hudl page serves as a nice look into what Franklin reeled in — a big-time punter with a leg that can already play Division-1 football.
Welcome to the family, Blake!
