2025 Penn State football: Drew Allar player profile

Going into the 2025 football season, Nittany Lions Wire will examine each player listed on the Penn State roster. Over the preseason, each profile will cover the player’s background, how recruiting websites rated them coming out of high school, and what role they will play for James Franklin this season.

Quarterback Drew Allar returns for his fourth and likely final season as a Nittany Lion, looking to avenge last season’s heartbreaking loss to Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff semifinals. With a revamped wide receiver corps via a trio of transfers, Allar has arguably the best cast of pass-catchers he’s had since arriving on campus. Here’s a preview of Penn State’s gunslinger headed into the 2025 season.

Depth Chart Overview

It was clear when Allar stepped on campus it wouldn’t take long for him to step into the spotlight. After sitting behind sixth-year Sean Clifford for a year, Allar took the reigns and has been the starter for two seasons. Barring injury, he’ll retain the starting role in 2025.
