Penn State quarterback Beau Pribula could be 'another great weapon' in the Nittany Lions' offense.
Even before Penn State began training camp, quarterback Beau Pribula had earned a bit of prime real estate in Andy Kotelnicki's offense. The coordinator identified Pribula as one of Penn State's best football players, called him a difference-maker and "another great weapon" and more than suggested that Pribula would serve as more than the team's backup.
Pribula, a third-year quarterback who arrived with starter Drew Allar in the 2022 recruiting class, served as the backup last season, though his role grew larger as the year progressed. Pribula ran for a career-high 71 yards against Rutgers, as interim coordinators Ty Howle and Ja'Juan Seider expanded his role, and had rushing and passing touchdowns against Michigan State.
That's exactly what energizes Pribula about Kotelnicki's offense and his place in it. Pribula said this has been his most efficient and effective training camp at Penn State regarding most metrics: passing efficiency, explosive plays, touchdown/turnover ratio and completion rate. He said Kotelnicki has had much to do with that.
"One of the things that brings joy to my heart is watching people in college be genuinely excited for each other's success. And I think that is so true in all of our rooms," Kotelnicki said. "But works. He's got the respect of his teammates. ... Beau wants to improve and wants to get better."
