Throughout the 2024 season, Allar demonstrated significant growth, completing 67.4% of his passes for over 3,000 yards, 24 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. His performance was instrumental in leading the Nittany Lions to the College Football Playoff.

Allar’s decision to stay has had a ripple effect on the team’s roster. Backup quarterback Beau Pribula entered the transfer portal, likely seeking more playing time elsewhere. This development underscores Allar’s firm hold on the starting position and his importance to the team’s future success.

While Allar grew up as an Ohio State fan and attended games at Ohio Stadium during his childhood, he committed to Penn State in March 2021 and has remained dedicated to the program since.

In summary, Drew Allar remains committed to the Penn State Nittany Lions and has not signed any contract with the Ohio State Buckeyes. Reports suggesting otherwise are unsubstantiated.

Author’s note: I’ve been helping out with the Medina High School football team for much of the last decade, so I’ve known Drew Allar and his family for years. With that in mind, I wanted to take an in-depth look at how Allar, a longtime Ohio State fan who went to Buckeye games throughout his childhood, became Penn State’s starting quarterback.
