Examining center transition to Hunter Nourzad
Penn State football is a darling dark horse for the upcoming 2023 season. With a five-star quarterback presumably stepping under center to start his career, to go with a loaded defense and running game, there’s plenty of excitement about Penn State locally and nationally. But what about that center Drew Allar will line up behind? One of the key losses for the team this offseason was former starter Juice Scruggs, who moved on to the NFL.

Can Cornell transfer Hunter Nourzad fill in for Scruggs? It’s a critical position and one that Pickel spent time examining this week. He and T-Frank will discuss the situation and the internal view of Nourzad. Then the duo will discuss the external view of the second-year Nittany Lion to see how fans view the 6-3 lineman.
Next, they’ll preview the spring transfer portal window. Penn State has unfinished business after missing out on a defensive tackle in this past cycle. Can they make something happen in May? They’ll discuss that, and review the team’s work in the transfer portal this winter.
