Penn State starting QB Drew Allar plans to return in 2025: Source
Penn State starting quarterback Drew Allar informed school officials he plans to return in 2025, a source briefed on the decision confirmed to The Athletic on Monday morning. The junior quarterback has led Penn State to a College Football Playoff berth and has completed 69.1 percent of his passes for 2,894 yards and 21 touchdowns this season. Honestly, I’m glad I got this out of the way because I’m totally focused on SMU and respectfully, this is kind of the last time I want to talk about it.” Allar’s commitment to being Penn State’s quarterback next season coincides with Andy Kotelnicki also clearing the air about his coaching future. Penn State’s offensive coordinator, who has helped Allar and the offense evolve this season, was reportedly in contention for the West Virginia head coaching job last week.
