Drew Allar is getting a lot of pub this offseason. The Nittany Lions’ strong-armed, floppy-haired senior quarterback is being mentioned among the best college players at his position for 2025 and his potential at the next level is also a hot topic as the draft approaches. He’ll spend the summer answering questions about what he learned from last season (the disappointing finale against Notre Dame in particular), how he plans to expand his leadership, why Andy Kotelnicki is fun to play for, what Lion legend-turned-assistant coach Trace McSorley has brought to the QB room, et cetera et cetera.
But how much Allar improves, or even how well he plays, will only matter if he gets the help he didn’t have for his first two seasons as a starter.
As we race toward Allar’s final season at Penn State, the elephant in the Lasch Building remains the same: Who in the name of Freddie Scott is going to step up and be an alpha dog in Penn State’s wide receiver room?
