Nation’s best QB? Trace McSorley earns rave reviews from national media outlets, including comparison to No. 1 overall NFL draft pick | Centre Daily Times

For the last three seasons, Saquon Barkley has stolen the show in Happy Valley.

Now, it’s quarterback Trace McSorley’s turn.

McSorley just wrapped up spring practice a week ago at the Blue-White Game, but he’s already generating plenty of hype. The Sporting News’ Bill Bender recently named him the best college quarterback in the nation, ahead of the likes of Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa, Arizona’s Khalil Tate and Georgia’s Jake Fromm. And on Thursday, ESPN’s Dan Murphy compared him to the Cleveland Browns’ Baker Mayfield, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft.
