Report: Drew Allar ‘on Scouts’ Radar’ for 2025 NFL Draft Despite Plans for PSU Return
Penn State quarterback Drew Allar has announced his intention to return to school in 2025, but NFL scouts still have him on their radar if he changes his mind and goes pro, per ESPN’s Field Yates.
Allar is set to lead Penn State into the Orange Bowl on Thursday in a College Football Playoff semifinal matchup against Notre Dame in Miami.
Multiple NFL general managers think Allar could change his mind if he has a strong CFP run, per Dane Brugler of The Athletic.
Brent Sobleski of Bleacher Report believes that Allar would be the third-ranked quarterback in this year’s draft behind Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders and Miami’s Cam Ward. He also called Allar “a potential first-round pick.”
In his second full season as Penn State’s starter, Allar has completed 67.4 percent of his passes for 3,192 yards (8.6 YPA), 24 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He’s also rushed for 285 yards and six touchdowns.
Simply put, if Allar excels against Notre Dame and puts on even more good tape against Ohio State or Texas inn the CFP final, then it’s conceivable to see him make the leap and take advantage of a high-rising draft stock. The need is too great at the top of the draft for teams to ignore him, and he could easily be considered QB3 in this year’s class.
As of now, though, Allar is Penn State’s quarterback for 2025. But first, he’s trying to lead the Nittany Lions to their first national title since 1986.
