Penn State quarterback Drew Allar had Cleveland Browns fans worked up for a good two weeks before ultimately deciding to skip the 2025 NFL draft and head back to school for his senior season.
Throwing for over 3,300 yards and 24 touchdowns this season, Allar took a stride forward with the Nittany Lions from his 2023 campaign. However, his body of work against top-tier opponents put the proof in the pudding, leading to a 2025 NFL draft quarterback class highlighted by just Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders and Miami’s Cam Ward.
After reviewing his NFL options, Drew Allar is officially returning to Penn State for his senior season, a source confirmed.
Allar previously announced his intention to return, but was keeping an open mind based on favorable NFL feedback.

Against Ohio State, Oregon, and Notre Dame combined, Allar threw for just a total of 172 yards per game, three touchdowns, and four interceptions. His body of work in the College Football Playoffs was not enough to change his mind, completing under 55 percent of his passes and failing to break 200 yards in a single of the three games.
Heading back to school was the right choice, even if Browns fans are yearning to draft the lifelong Browns fan from Medina, Ohio.
