STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Allar won Day One with two best throws and a TD pass; showed willingness to take chances.

The Penn State rookie had the two best throws of any quarterback during team drills on Day One of the quarterback battle with Will Howard; he ripped a seam shot to Max Hurleman in seven-on-sevens and closed practice with a touchdown pass down the middle to Robert Tonyan from 15 yards out. While he had a few throws he would have liked back—a check down tipped by Cole Holcomb that was picked off by Payton Wilson and a tight-window corner route nearly intercepted—the source notes it was admirable seeing him take chances when others would simply throw easy pitches-and-catches to the flat, though more precision on tight-window throws would be ideal. Overall, it's a practice he can walk away happy with his performance.
