Arkansas QB Austin Allen was busy this summer.

In addition to attending the Manning Passing Academy in June, Allen headed west to attend a different camp.

According to WholeHogSports.com, Allen may have learned even more from the Ultimate Training Camp he attended in Colorado than he did from the Manning camp:

“I’ve never done anything like it,” Allen said. “It changes your life. It changes the way you view physical workouts. When I got back to campus, what we do with our strength and conditioning program seems easy. I sailed through that stuff after going to UTC.

“I’m a different person. It was a life changing experience. Nothing I’ve done is even close to that. I learned to lean on my faith in everything I do. I think the people around me see the difference.”

Allen said Arkansas coach Bret Bielema is a big believer in the Ultimate Training Camp, which spurred Allen to attend:

“I’m thankful for Coach (Bret) Bielema because he believes in the camp and allowed us to go,” Allen said of UTC. “I know he saw benefits when he was at Wisconsin. Our guys have been able to go here in the past. I really thought it important to go and I’m so glad I did it.

“We learned what real physical fatigue is and how to handle it when you are hit by it. It helps you understand how to push through workouts. You are going to go through fatigue late in games. Your mind will understand how to handle it.”

The junior play caller will certainly be tested in his first year as the Razorbacks’ starter. If he can stay strong throughout the season and make big plays in the fourth quarter, though, he will quickly endear himself to Arkansas fans.
