Freshman alert! 

Glee fans, prepare to meet the two actors joining the Fox hit's fourth season: Dean Geyer and Jacob Artist! Artist will be prepping to dodge slushies in the McKinley High hallways as a freshman on the show, while Geyer will be introduced to us as a student at NYADA in New York City.

Oh yes, the school where fan favorite Rachel (Lea Michele) will be studying. So should Finchel fans be worried? Find out...

 

Artist is set to fill the Mohawk-sized hole left by his big brother Puck (Mark Salling)—that is, if his attitude doesn't get in his way. Yes, it seems the bad-boy gene runs in the Puckerman family as Jake, Puck's half-brother, has a bad-boy attitude that could land him in trouble when he auditions for New Directions. 

Also set to stir things up? Geyer's character Brody Weston, a handsome upperclassman who shows an interest in Rachel at NYADA. Yes, that's right: A boy other than Finn (Cory Monteith) will be sharing screen time with Rachel. Deep breaths, Finn and Rachel fans. Deep breaths. Remember that Lea recently told us Rachel and Finn will be in contact in season four.

Geyer is no stranger to singing on TV—the 26-year-old singer/songwriter competed on Australian Idol and most recently guest-starred on Fox's short-lived Terra Nova

New York native Artist recently starred in Lifetime's hit TV movie Blue Lagoon: The Awakening and appeared on Melissa & Joey.
