Former Penn State kicker Sam Ficken earned a tryout with the Jacksonville Jaguars back in June, and on Monday afternoon the team announced that he has signed and been added to the roster.

Ficken will compete with incumbent Jason Myers, a second-year pro out of Marist in preseason camp. Myers was 26 of 30 on field goals last season, but missed seven extra points.

Ficken joins a trio of former Nittany Lions on the roster in Jacksonville. Wide receiver Allen Robinson was a Pro Bowler for the Jags last season, linebacker Paul Posluszny was the team’s leading tackler and defensive lineman Jared Odrick had 5.5 sacks in his first season with the team.

After a rocky start to his Penn State career, Ficken finished second in school history in career field goals (54) and first in season field goals (24 in 2014) and had game-winning kicks against Wisconsin, Central Florida and iced a Pinstripe Bowl win over Boston College in his final collegiate game.

Ficken attended minicamp for the Kansas City Chiefs last summer but was not signed. He continued working out and working an office job in State College. He was at Penn State’s Pro Day in March and worked out this spring with kicking coach Gary Zauner in Arizona.
