Penn State quarterback update
Topics that came up in today’s press conference include the number of offensive linemen that the team wants to play in the first game, freshmen progress including Quinton Martin and Luke Reynolds, and more.
Despite the promise that Pribula would see the field in 2023, the backup quarterback only saw 134 snaps last season. Most of those snaps camp against Delaware in cleanup duty, where Pribual saw 28 plays on offense. His second stint on the field came later in the season against Rutgers when Allar left the game with an injury.
