Anthony Fera (born June 18, 1991) is a football placekicker and punter who plays on the practice roster for the BC Lions of the Canadian Football League.
Hailing from Cypress, Texas, Fera attended St. Pius X High School. Fera later attended Penn State, redshirting in 2009. On November 17, 2010, Fera had an emergency appendectomy.[1] In Penn State's 2011 game against Eastern Michigan, Fera became the first Nittany Lion since Chris Bahr in 1975 to be the starter for field goals, kickoffs and punts. After the 2011 season and the Penn State child sex abuse scandal, Fera transferred to Texas.[2][3] Fera missed the first four games of 2012 with a groin injury. Fera was a finalist for the 2013 Lou Groza Award.[4]
After college, Fera signed as a free agent for the BC Lions on May 27, 2015, eventually joining the practice roster on June 20, 2015.[5]
