This is the reason why Penn State QB Drew Allar said he won’t declare for the 2025 NFL Draft
The will he/won’t he over Penn State’s outstanding QB and the 2025 NFL Draft is insane, but as it stands, Drew Allar has said that he wants to stay Nittany.
Drew Allar, the towering 6-foot-5 quarterback for Penn State, has decided to stay in Happy Valley for another season, turning down the chance to enter the 2025 NFL Draft. This choice has sparked discussions among fans and analysts, especially given the current landscape of NFL quarterback prospects.
Allar’s journey at Penn State has been marked by significant growth. After a freshman year in 2022 with limited play, he took the reins as the starting quarterback in 2023. His performance has been impressive, with a completion rate of 67.4% and over 3,000 passing yards in the 2024 season. These stats highlight his development and the potential that has NFL scouts taking notice.
Despite his public commitment to return to Penn State, some NFL general managers believe that a strong showing in the College Football Playoff could lead Allar to reconsider and declare for the draft. Analyst Dane Brugler noted that several NFL GMs think Allar might enter the 2025 draft if he performs well in the playoffs, and teams are scouting him accordingly.
The upcoming College Football Playoff semifinal against Notre Dame adds another layer to this narrative. A standout performance could elevate Allar’s draft stock even further, potentially making him a top contender in a quarterback class that some consider less competitive this year. However, Allar seems focused on his current team and the goals they’ve set for the season.
In the end, Allar’s decision to stay at Penn State reflects his desire to continue developing his skills and perhaps lead the Nittany Lions to greater heights. While the allure of the NFL is strong, Allar appears committed to his journey in college football, at least for now.
