What is Trace McSorley working on during spring practice?

College football fans were introduced to Penn State quarterback Trace McSorley's knack for making plays during a thrilling and unexpected performance off the bench in the TaxSlayer Bowl two seasons ago. When McSorley was named as the starting quarterback to replace Christian Hackenberg in 2016, anticipation was understandably high.

All McSorley did as a sophomore was exceed even the most ambitious of expectations. He broke Penn State's single-season record for passing yards, passing touchdowns and total offense while leading the Nittany Lions to a magical Big Ten championship and Rose Bowl appearance.

Now, McSorley returns for his junior season with a ton of offensive firepower by his side.
