Chuck Losey, Penn State's strength coach, details his training approach with Nittany Lions quarterback Drew Allar.
Though Penn State football coach James Franklin often noted quarterback Drew Allar's underrated athleticism last year, the Nittany Lions didn't make running a priority of Allar's game. Rightfully so. The 6-4 Allar is at his best dissecting defenses from a pocket and throwing to guide an offense. Still, Penn State wants to build a more mobile, or at least agile, quarterback in Allar for 2024.
"He's a body composition guy," Losey said. "For us, it's continuing to get his body-fat percentage down, his lean mass up and then his movement qualities."Allar ran 74 times last season, often in scramble situations and occasional designed quarterback draws. He demonstrated an ability to tuck-and-go situationally and some occasional burst.
"I think the offense is a really good for for not only me," Allar said. "We're going to run stuff that the receivers like, that I like, that the tight ends like. ... It is different from last year in terms of that. My comfort level has grown.
