“I’m excited to continue my journey here at Penn State,” Allar said. “This program has been a huge part of my growth as a player and a person, and I’m looking forward to what the future holds. I have the utmost respect for Coach Franklin and the entire coaching staff, and I can’t wait to continue building something special with this team.”
Allar, a highly-touted recruit out of Medina, Ohio, has been one of the most talked-about players in college football since committing to Penn State in 2022. After showing flashes of brilliance in his freshman season, including a strong performance during the 2024 campaign, Allar is now viewed as a potential future NFL prospect, thanks to his strong arm, poise under pressure, and impressive football IQ.
The new contract is seen as a significant step for both Allar and the Nittany Lions program. With the extension, Penn State locks up its star quarterback for several more years, giving him the opportunity to further develop under head coach James Franklin and the talented coaching staff.

Coach Franklin praised Allar’s development and potential, emphasizing the quarterback’s leadership both on and off the field. “Drew has been a tremendous leader for us, and his growth has been incredible to watch,” Franklin said in a press release. “He has a very bright future ahead, and we’re excited to have him for the next few seasons.”
Allar’s commitment to Penn State comes at a crucial time for the program, as they look to stay competitive in a crowded Big Ten landscape. With key matchups on the horizon and a talented roster around him, Allar is expected to play a pivotal role in Penn State’s pursuit of both conference and national championships.
As for Allar, he expressed a desire to take his game to new heights in the coming years. “We’ve got a great team, a great fanbase, and a lot of unfinished business,” he said. “I’m ready to keep working and give everything I have for this program.”
The Nittany Lions’ fans can now breathe easy, knowing that their star quarterback will be leading the charge for the next several seasons.
