Another member of the Nittany Lions football team has decided to take his talents elsewhere. The latest player to bolt the program is kicker Anthony Fera, who is headed to Texas, according to Joe Schad of ESPN.

Fera handled both the kicking and punting duties for Penn State. Last year he was a candidate for the Ray Guy Award and a semifinalist for the Lou Groza Award. He ranked 17th in the nation for his field goal accuracy, and 37th for yardage on punts.
This makes eight roster players that have left Penn State for other programs since the NCAA handed down its sanctions in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky scandal.
