Dec 7, 2024; Indianapolis, IN, USA; Penn State Nittany Lions head coach James Franklin watches quarterback Drew Allar (15) throw against the Oregon Ducks during the second quarter in the 2024 Big Ten Championship game at Lucas Oil Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Jordan Prather-Imagn Images Drew Allar informed coaches he plans to play at Penn State in 2025, ending speculation the junior quarterback would jump to the NFL.
Allar was graded as a first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. He has a 21-5 record as Penn State's starter.
"This season has been the most fun I've ever had in my entire life playing football and I'm so proud of what we've accomplished as a team," Allar said in a social media post Monday. "I know there's still more work to do which is why I look forward to making more memories with my teammates this year and beyond."

The 6-foot-5, 235-pound Allar has 21 touchdowns and seven interceptions in 2024 and had 25 touchdowns with two interceptions in 2023.
The Nittany Lions are in the College Football Playoff for the first time and host No. 11 SMU in the first round on Saturday.
The strongest indication before Monday that Allar would return came when backup quarterback Beau Pribula said Sunday night he is leaving the team and entering the NCAA transfer portal.
