How did so many schools, including Fresno State, whiff on Wyoming QB Josh Allen?

Josh Allen stands 6-foot-5 in bare feet and weighs 225 pounds. Prototype size for a quarterback.

Allen has a fluid release and his passes arrive at their target as if strung to a cable. Prototype arm.

He can sense danger in the pocket, his feet are nimble and he can throw accurately on the run. Prototype athleticism.

He’s intelligent and comes from a great family that helped forge a strong work ethic, and his teams have always been winners. Prototype intangibles.

If Wyoming’s redshirt sophomore possesses each of these qualities (and he does), then there’s a question that must be asked:

How did so many FBS teams miss out on a quarterback with Allen’s prototypical size, arm, athleticism and intangibles?
