Football QB Beau Pribula expected to enter the Transfer Portal
- Thread starter Obliviax
- Start date
I don't care what you think--those that know football get along with me fine 80-90% of the time
The issue is only me about 20% of the time when I'm being an ass--usually to people like you who deserve it.
If Drew is not staying, Penn State has serious issues at QB next year. They will start either a red shirt freshman or a red shirt sophomore, neither with game experience, with the possibility of the qb that doesn’t win the job leaving and the only other scholarship QB being a kid who could not win a starting job as a senior in high school.
The truth is you’re a dickhead who doesn’t know shit. You pretend you’re some kind of football expert making all these pronouncements and then when proven wrong, you twist yourself into a pretzel trying to convince everyone you didn’t say what you said.
Allar is coming back. You were wrong about him. You were wrong about Pribula. You’re wrong about Lamar Jackson. You’re wrong about 50 percent pass completing Mahomes. You’re wrong about most everything you say, Give it up. We’re getting tired of all your losing.
I was 100% wrong about him coming back--he's making an emotional decision
How was I wrong about Beau?
Lamar lost to Pittsburgh again, right? Still hasn't done anything in the playoffs this year right?
How many SBs does Mahomes have? His best WR is currently JuJu and they're 13-1. Unlike Lamar he doesn't lose to teams like Vegas
Losers lose. Most everything you say is wrong. Keep on losing, Friend. May your next 20,000 posts be as wrong as your last 20,000.
I'm almost never wrong.
You disappeared for a week when Lamar predictably played like garbage against the Steelers
He's as wrong as Bill O'Brien was, when he coached the Alabama Flim Flams to an embarrassing loss in the Spice Bowl in 1376 at the Lunar Mars Colony.
All from "projections" based on depth charts which are not known as of this moment- at least to the Proletariat.
The potential for Beau to become a scapegoat is very, very real. Especially with the lousy weather forecast for Saturday.
Other teams not prepping all of our 2 qb looks will provide extra time to confuse Drew- which has been done.
Imagine if we win the championship, Allar goes pro, while Beau is at Duke or VA Tech or Iowa as a Grad Student with his York Beemer still in hand along with $500k.
We have to find some Spring portal malcontent to become our starter or top back up and pay him significantly more than Beau would've ever wanted.
In this scenario there are winners and losers- but all would be ok with it. Almost any other variation sucks for somebody.
Pribula will "get his" regardless- but is no longer a teammate. Simply put: "We Are NOT Better" today by losing someone whom we have invested as much into developing as he has given us.

I was traveling out of state as I mentioned, actually even missed the Steelers game on TV and your comments on this board are predictably garbage so we’re even.
Unlike you, I have a life. And like about 10,000 of your 20,000 posts you are arguing with yourself again. What a maroon!
I’m not Picture Perfect; he’s the one with 10 different user names, according to the rest of the board, while accusing everyone else of same. I signed on to the board I believe this summer after many years of reading interesting topics. And now sadly daily, inane bloviating from you. Again you are wrong. One sign on. One user name. Not a surprise. You are wrong about literally everything.
He is different than everyone you cite.... Beau is going to graduate from PSU. It isn't necessarily NIL money, or a guarantee to be the starter, etc..... At the end of the day, he got a better offer (or what he considers a better offer based on his criteria which are the only criteria that matter) from Grad Schools outside of PSU. How do you know that he didn't go to PSU and ask them if they would match offers he had acquired - contrary to what some have said, I don't believe it breaks any NCAA Rule for Beau to Research his Grad School options - and PSU decided not to match his offers? There is nothing wrong with Beau deciding to look at other schools as a Grad Student. Some of you people need to grow up.
It is not the same situation. Beau is graduating and enrolling in a new school for post-graduate work, he is not transferring schools.
Big risk for whatever school agrees to take the transfer. What if Beau plays and tears his ACL, meaning he'd miss all of next year or even worse has a career ending injury? Would that school still be required to honor his scholarship? If not, would there be anyone left for them to recruit to take his place? That could screw that school over. And if they aren't forced to honor the commitment to Beau it screws Beau over too. This is all a no win situation because of the stupidity of the college football calendar.
Beau is not a "transfer" - he is graduating from PSU this semester apparently.
He's a grad transfer. Semantics. Means very little in terms of what's happening here. Beau learned that Allar was coming back, knew that meant his odds to start next year were virtually zero, decided to look for a new home where he could start. Per Franklin's press conference today we now also know PSU was open to letting Beau play while being in the portal, however they couldn't find a solution that would allow Beau sufficient time to practice and prep for games while also finishing up school, exploring portal opportunities and visiting schools that are recruiting him from the portal. So a decision was made that the "best" solution was to mutually cut ties now, even though that's not what PSU, Franklin or Beau wanted to do, but it was necessary if Beau really wanted to transfer at the conclusion of the season.
Maybe grad school is the pull- and if he goes to Rice or Vandy then maybe he gets the best of both.
Football likely has more to do with it than education.....if he knew he was graduating and considering a December withdrawal from football activities- then this plan would've been hatched long ago and our coaches would have been more prepared (e.g. other qbs would've taken snaps and reps).
Nobody is happy- it is what it is. Franklin's quotes support Beau- but I imagine he'd rather still have him on the roster for up to 3 more games. PRibula would like to finish out his time @ PSU and go for the gold. Neither gets what they want.
This situation will change the way things are done- and with good reason- it is FUBAR
Not true. You people act like this is a product of the changes the last couple years - IT'S NOT. Students who graduate from their institution HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PERMITTED by the NCAA to go to a new school without sitting a year, and losing a year of eligibility.
Beau graduating from PSU makes this a very different situation and it has ALWAYS been treated differently. So you saying "semantics" doesn't make it so.

So what? Nobody here is arguing over whether or not Beau is able to transfer without sitting a year or not. The discussion is about the timing of his departure relatively to the portal window rules, remaining playoff games and availability of QB openings for him to explore. Whether you call it a grad transfer or regular transfer those considerations still exist. So you are arguing semantics that are not the point or are relevant in this 7 page thread.
In the end compromises are being made by all parties here except for the program where Beau ends up. It's pretty clear that Franklin and Beau both wanted him to stay and play through the end of the playoffs but that wasn't feasible unless Beau was willing to wait to be heavily recruited, which would have impacted the opportunities left for him. Unfortunately PSU is the one that is impacted the most for this season, as now we do not have an experienced backup QB for the playoffs. But PSU got a huge lift for 2025 with Allar returning.
Per the article and quotes from Franklin, it sounds like Beau was offered a QB roster spot with another team and accepted it before the opportunity was lost to another player.

If anyone read this they'd see the article is correct--only thing wrong was this "Pribula doesn’t have significant game tape," as there plenty but most of it was dead on especially....USA Today blames Beau, not the NCAA.

"This is the player working the system to his benefit."
"You can’t complain about the NCAA keeping you down when you control movement and employment. Because that’s what this is now — no matter how university presidents and conference commissioners try to convince everyone it’s not with a variety of mental gymnastics."
Not sure how you got that impression. Franklin said there's only one spot, meaning only one starting QB spot per team as opposed to other positions where there are multiple starting spots. So as a whole there are fewer available starting QB positions than any other, and that's one factor into the decision for Beau not wanting to wait and risking those spots disappearing while finishing out the playoffs with PSU.Per the article and quotes from Franklin, it sounds like Beau was offered a QB roster spot with another team and accepted it before the opportunity was lost to another player.

What a dick thing to post - I guess we can't all be asshole lawyers.
I mean...Communications is the major I expect from most football players. He's not Myron Rolle or John Urschel. Still nice he got a degree in 3 years but he's transferring for football not education unlike what one poster is trying to sell.
What do you call 100 Lawyers at the bottom of the Ocean.......
Oh so 99.9% of football players are dumb - got it. I am sure you were the President of your MENSA Chapter in College as well doofus.
I like it...Baghdad Bob or maybe he is Drew's agent or something. The dude has a true woodie for all things Drew Allar and negativity for Beau and the receiving corps.
It is a shame about losing Beau to the portal, but such is the way anymore. It sucks but there is nothing that can be done about the rules. I'd bet that Beau would have stayed for the playoff run if the rules and timing were different. I had him figured as a backup who can win games. Yes - even playoff games. This playoff run is going to have lots of attrition and having good quality depth could mean everything.
Now this is going to be really unpopular, but Beau will throw the ball in tight windows whereas Allar will not. Everyone wants to hang it on the receivers not getting open. Maybe not open enough for Allar to throw the ball. The only guy he trusts to throw to when covered is Warren and that dude is special as we know. If you are not wide open when he glances - off to the checkdown he goes. It is QB Developemnt 101 and no doubt is a reason Drew is sticking around for another year. He and the coaches know a lot of it is on him and not the receivers. A year ago, the Allar lovers had him as a # 1 pick in year 3. Great potential and good development this year, but not there yet.
Beau is a god qb and has worked for his chance. He is not afraid to make a play and will put the ball in some tight windows. He reads the game differently than Drew and I would have loved to have him as the backup for the next three games. Shame it won't happen. As a fan, the NIL / portal SUCKS. These kids play for themselves not the team and not the school.
Who said he was dumb? I didn't
I'm saying he's not transferring for any reason other than football. He can get a masters here but he wants to start which is fine.
Very few students, football players or not, are actually serious students. If you went to college...guessing you graduated in 84 but guessing you probably remember many weren't serious about school but was doing it because they were supposed to. That's probably worse now.
Did you major in Communications? Is that what upset you? Can't be the fact I'm acknowledging the transfer is about football
College football is ruined. Beau is a significant loss. If Drew gets injured or begins to take a hissy fit we are done!!! I have said before Drew reminds me so much of Christian Hackenberg. I dont see his career in the NFL lasting very long. I dont see much improvement between this year compared to last and I dont see much going forward. He is a decent mediocre QB playing football at Penn State.
