Allen says he saw growth in Tuttle this spring

Besides his own office, there are two meeting rooms inside Indiana’s North End Zone facility where Tom Allen spends most of his time each spring. One is the linebackers nook, which is where the IU head coach works closely with the players he considers to be the most important to his defense. The other is the quarterbacks room, the home of some of the Hoosiers’ most important players, period.
It was in the latter space where Allen sat side-by-side over the past two months for meetings with Jack Tuttle, IU’s QB1 since late November. A hands-on spring with Tuttle taught Allen a few things about the redshirt sophomore and his development since the end of last season, particularly how the former four-star recruit now seems to have a more confident grasp on the offense.

If Dallin Holker had not left BYU’s football program for two years, would freshman Isaac Rex have caught those impressive 12 touchdown passes in 2020 from NFL-bound quarterback Zach Wilson?
Holker’s got speed, athleticism, height at 6-foot-5 and was impressive in 2018 when he played. He was the Deseret News 5A MVP in 2017. He played basketball and he’s got good hands.
What could he have delivered alongside Rex or instead of Rex if he’d been playing his junior year?
