LOOK: Trace McSorley visited Penn State’s football facilities this weekend

One of Penn State’s all-time greats returned to his old stomping grounds this weekend to check out the scenes as spring practices are underway. [autotag]Trace McSorley[/autotag] visited Penn State’s campus and stopped by the football facilities, locker room, and Beaver Stadium.

It may not be a total coincidence that McSorley returned to campus the same weekend Penn State was hosting a number of recruiting targets in the next few recruiting cycles, as having one of the program’s most successful players in recent years stopping by when recruits are in town is always a nice recruiting tool.

McSorley clearly enjoyed his return to Beaver Stadium, as seen in a few photos shared by Penn State’s official Twitter account on Sunday.

A quick scroll through the photos shared on Penn State’s football Instagram account showed McSorley also had an opportunity to catch up with freshman quarterback [autotag]Drew Allar[/autotag] and get in a few hacks at some virtual golf.

McSorely was signed by the Arizona Cardinals off of the practice squad of the Baltimore Ravens last season. McSorley is under contract with the Cardinals in 2022, where he is a backup option for starting quarterback Kyler Murray. Despite some bizarre moments this offseason with Murray and his social media activity, Murray is slotted to be the team’s starting quarterback in 2022, with McSorley sitting in waiting in case he is needed.

As for the No. 9 jersey once worn by McSorley, two players on the roster are currently sporting it at spring practices this year. [autotag]Christian Veilleux[/autotag] and [autotag]Beau Pribula[/autotag] are each wearing No. 9 as spring practices continue in State College.
