Freshman Penn State QB Drew Allar

Tom from LI : 1/27/2023 8:04 am
I follow Top Billin' on Youtube and he did this film study on Freshman Penn State QB Drew Allar.

The kid is only 18 and he is 6'5 242lb QB. I am interested in watching some Penn State games this year and checking him out.

I am not sure how he will develop but he looks like he has some talent.
Penn State QB Drew Allar - ( New Window )
It was foolish of James Franklin to not redshirt him this past season

Wasted his freshman year. Now he'll only get 2 or 3 years of college experience.

My Penn State friends were saying pretty much the same. After the Michigan loss, they wanted him starting the rest of the season to prep for 2023. I saw the kid briefly a couple times, and he flashed serious arm talent.

What top college QBs enter the draft after being redshirted and staying until their senior season? It might even be a bit of a red flag when you see a 5 year player entering the draft.

I would only red flag a 5 year player at that position if they didn’t look like an NFL caliber QB for 4 of those years and turned it on in the 5th year.
He’s one to keep eye on

Bunch of nice QB prospects coming out of college in next 3-4 years and Giants should keep eyes and options open each year.
Best prospect since Kerry Collins.

Very excited....to see them finally compete in the Big Ten again
I dont think redshorting actually makes sense with the transfer portal

Keep him engaged so he feels like he's the next step. get him a few snaps so he builds experience. Otherwise poof he's gone.
Has terrific physical attributes...

now he needs to learn how to play QB. Curious to see if he DA can improve his athleticism.

Getting DA was quite a coup for Penn State. I don't think they've ever hooked a 5 star QB recruit.

He still

has to beat out Chad Powers... Even though he looks older he has major arm talent.
He is...

I thought Powers went to Community College to get his grades up.
Remember Franklin

Had Levis and left him on the bench. Blew that one. Just like Myer starting Haskins over Joe Hollywood.

The portal combined w the NIL virtually assures teams losing players(especially Qbs) if they feel they are not going to get on the field. It’s going to get words before it gets better but w some of the very top kids getting over 100k to even close to 500k suppose it’s a mess
