Exactly, Drew is a good kid, and probably did not want to see Beau twisting in the wind so he let everyone know he was coming back. This was a pretty strong rumor on one of the other boards that he was returning not long ago.
Football Drew Allar set to return to Penn State in 2025
- Thread starter Richie O
- Start date
I have a feeling that Singleton also will return; the running back group should be great next season.
He himself obviously doesn't feel that he's NFL ready now, and I have to believe that his family and he consulted with NFL executives who probably told them that he's not NFL ready now.
I think Allen stays (good college player not quite fast enough for the NFL), but I would doubt Singleton stays.
You don't know that he's making an illogical decision. He might have been offered $1.5 million to stay. He might want to finish up his degree. He probably has insurance that will pay off if he's injured.
I've seen him projected to go anywhere from #1 QB to #7 QB which is a big difference.
When you say "hopefully" or "a shot" those are reasons he can't come back. This is all risk. Fleming was our big get last year. How'd that play out?
If Drew's happy I'm happy for him. Why none of you comprehend how much of a risk is involved here is dumbfounding
He obviously didn’t talk to Lando, the most important resource he could have used and obviously did not.
All of this things are illogical...1.5M is nothing for a second contract, he can always get a degree and may already have his and insurance doesn't give you the career your losing back.
He's not QB7....he's at worst 4 likely 3 could be 1 or 2 with a good run
Were true or weren't true? I remember someone wrote Allar to OSU was a rumor.
Somebody had said that some people in Ohio had heard that Allar was going to stay another year.
Maybe he sees young receivers in practice and also knows about portal receivers coming that neither you nor I see or know about; he's obviously not making this decision in a vacuum. Why would he proverbally cut off his nose to spite his face; he's probably staying for several reasons, including believing that he will have a very good team to lead next season.
Very well possible. Waiting for his next step. We can assume more then, but right now I'm leaning towards "Beau expected Allar to turn pro, Allar decided to return" hence he's looking.
Blah blah blah. Go run your fantasy football team which is likely in 7th place in your 8 team league. You’re wasting our time.
Then they'd be playing now
People don't always make logical decisions. His life. Hopefully he doesn't see a fall like countless others have that returned when they shouldn't have. Simply not worth the risk but thrilled to have him.
My fantasy team lol
If I cared about fantasy I'd have the same taste in QBs that you do
The only wide out they lose is Fleming. Wallace, Clifford and Evan’s will be back. There is also the portal as well as the possibility of one of the freshmen on the team stepping up like say Denmark. The tight end room is loaded and I wouldn’t be surprised to see both backs return next year.
I’m more worried about what we lose on Defense than what we will have on offense.

We want him to play 4 games like a first rounder, but if he does this and becomes a likely first round QB, can he really stay and risk injury or a less than stellar year? The obvious answer seems to be "no".
Are those WRs coming back a good thing?
I'm very worried about the pass game next year but hopefully you're right
I agree; with Allar's return, I expect the offense to be just as good as if not better than this year's offense, even with Warren's loss. You just can't replace the experience that Allar will bring to games next season; he'll have seen it all and should know how to manage games as well as any qb in the country.
Most definitely, however people were pissed that he was not waiting around till after the playoffs, if he already has a landing spot, then his future team may want him there asap.
How do you actually know that he is making a decision on emotions ? Were you in his house with his parents possibly having dinner with them during a very personal decision making process ? Allar has plenty of very very high level people around him from College , NFL etc.. why this does make it an easier decision is NIL money.. in the past you could leave early staying purely financial.. but now they have an income… just hope we maintain a Healthy OL , Singleton comes back, Tight End produces and we get a couple kids out of the portal at WR…of course Drew’s announcement can certainly help any of those WR’s still on the “ fence” about coming to Penn State..
Clifford took part on "Senior's Day" and doesn't appear to be coming back even though he is a RS Jr.
Him not needing money isn't reason to stay
Dave hit on it. Allar loves Franklin and there's no doubt in my mind he's allowing that to impact him
There's zero logic in announcing this now. I'd believe less emotion was involved after the season ends.
Just curious- and an honest question..... what you do for a living (or have done) that would make me put any value in your opinion vs any other anonymous keyboard warrior with these hot takes?
Delaying the second contract absolutely makes those dumb. He can get a degree when his career is over if he wants
Corporate attorney
I have plenty of experience with contracts at this level. This is a huge mistake on a business level. He knows that and is risking it like countless others have.
The risk doesn't trump the reward here
This is better for the staff than him obviously
You do realize that there is no second contract if he doesn't play well, right? And you also realize that the second contract will be much better the more prepared he is while playing under his first contract...
Oh that’s right. Fantasy football, though not my cup of tea, does require a little skill. The only skill you have is running your mouth.
Hope this is true but why would a portal QB come in to be a backup?

Well aware...returning doesn't increase those odds.
He's started for 2 years. Already at 26 games. May have as many as 30. That's plenty.
