1. DREW ALLAR WILL BE FIRST QB DRAFTED

Yahoo Sports’ Nate Tice released his top 25 Big Board for the 2026 NFL Draft and he did not have Penn State quarterback Drew Allar included. Four quarterbacks made the list in Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza, South Carolina’s LaNorris Sellers, LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier and Clemson’s Cade Klubnik.
No Arch Manning. But also no Allar and that seems like a missed opportunity. Allar was a four-star prospect for Rivals but should have been higher because he had such a great arm coming out of high school and has become one of the best college quarterbacks even without a huge supporting cast.
Remember, in Penn State’s 23-20 loss to Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff semifinal, no Nittany Lions receiver had a catch. Allar, who did throw a bad interception to give the Irish the win, was not working with Ohio State’s receiving corps. Maybe not even Ohio’s.
But he’s made it work. Allar completed more than 66 percent of his passes last season for more than 3,300 yards and 24 touchdowns. He led Penn State to the Final Four of College Football. His receiving corps mainly through the portal will be much better this year and Penn State could be the No. 1 team in preseason polls.

Allar is trending up and that should only continue through the pre-draft process.
