Finally, some great news for Penn State’s special teams.

Punter Blake Gillikin from Georgia committed to Penn State’s Class of 2016 this afternoon, joining what is shaping up to be a very impressive class.

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!
