Draft Profile: Bio
Drew Allar from Medina High School was rated a 4-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 5-star grade by 247 Sports. After high school, Allar opted to join Penn State.In 2022 as a freshman Allar saw action in 9 games for the Nittany Lions as he threw for just 344 yards on 59 attempts with a completion percent of 59.3 for an average of 5.8 yards per pass, with just 4 TDs, while taking 3 sacks, and an excellent QB rating of 98.4.
In 2023 as a sophomore he played in 12 games as he passed for 2333 yards on 352 attempts with a completion percent of 60.8 for an average of 6.6 yards per pass, with 23 TDs, while also taking 12 sacks, and putting up an excellent QB rating of 101.0. He made 55 runs for a total of 267 yards at an average of 4.9 per rush.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Most of the time Allar is at ease mentally in the pocket, and he’s willing to stand in and absorb hits while making a throw.
- Good zip and ball placement on the quick slant. Good touch down the seam and on post-corner, flag routes to attack the defense vertically and horizontally.
- Because he’s tall and broad-shouldered, he’s able to withstand big hits. Allar plays with a confident, gunslinger mentality and will test windows downfield.
- He shows very nice touch on deep balls, as well as the ability to anticipate windows and fit in tight throws with good velocity.
- He stands tall in the pocket and has the toughness and strong build to withstand contact when he throws.
- Sees the field very well when the play breaks down and occasionally changes plays at the line.
- He checks all the boxes from a physical standpoint. Allar has as much arm talent as anyone in this class and exhibits the ability to get zip on passes even when he’s off-balance.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Allar has heavy feet in the pocket and loses zip and accuracy when moved off his spot; he’s also a stationary target for pass rushers.
- His mechanics are hit-or-miss as Allar struggles to remain consistent. His stride is inconsistent, leading to sporadic accuracy.
- Doesn’t throw as well on the move, especially when targeting receivers outside the numbers.
