Overview:
No one had a more up and down stock than Drew Allar in 2024. The talented quarterback led the Nittany Lions to a Big 10 Championship berth, falling short against the Oregon Ducks. The team still made the CFP where Allar had lackluster performances despite the team's run. He will come into the 2025 season with all the room to rebuild his stock and show the once sky-high potential that enamored NFL scouts.
