1. Trace McSorley (Quarterback)

McSorley grabbing the top spot on this list should not come as a shock.

The 3-star, who had mostly offers to play defense, holds practically ever quarterback record in the book for Penn State.

In three seasons as the starter, McSorley totaled 9,899 passing yards, with 77 touchdowns and 25 interceptions. In addition to that, he rushed for 1,697 yards and 30 touchdowns.

His most important stat of course, is wins, and he had plenty of those. McSorley is the Penn State all-time leader in wins with 31.

His elite performances was one of the biggest reasons why Penn State went on the run they did. It’s hard to imagine what Penn State would’ve looked like if McSorley never came here.

He is now with the Baltimore Ravens.
