Penn State Football QB Drew Allar throwing dimes in workout (VIDEO)

Penn State Football enters the 2023 college football campaign with sky-high expectations, potentially as the Nittany Lions squad best positioned to finally lift the program into the sport’s ‘elite’ tier.

Much of the optimism emerging from Happy Valley centers around former five-star quarterback, and the No. 1 ranked player nationally at his position, Drew Allar, taking the reigns of the offense.

In a video posted recently by his trainer, Brad Maendler, Allar flashed the arm-strength and accuracy that made him a blue-chip prospect during a recent workout.

Allar will certainly benefit from playing behind arguably the most gifted offensive line that head coach James Franklin has assembled, while at the controls of an offense that features prolific running backs Nick singleton and Kaytron Allen.

Beyond preseason hype, there was much to like about Allar’s performance in spot-duty, as a true freshman during the 2022 campaign .

Allar appeared in 10 games for the Lions last season, completing 58.3 percent of his passes for 344 yards and 4 passing touchdowns, while adding 52 rushing yards and another score.

If Penn State Football is finally going to break through and reach the College Football Playoff for the first time, Allar figures to play a starring role.
