Drew Allar interception vs. Notre Dame. When Penn State's defense dialed up the pressure on Notre Dame and prevented the Fighting Irish from attempting a game-winning field goal,

Drew Allar entered the Penn State campus with significance. He was a five-star recruit and the No. 1 quarterback in the high-school class of 2022 per 247 Sports, making him the most sought-after quarterback recruit to play for the Nittany Lions in a very long time.

Per US Magazine, Allar has been dating his girlfriend Emma Bush way back in 2019 when they were in high school together back in Ohio. But Bush went to Ohio State while he was a Nittany Lion, but they’re still together despite the distance.

The will he/won't he over Penn State's outstanding QB and the 2025 NFL Draft is insane, but as it stands, Drew Allar has said that he wants to stay Nittany.

Meanwhile, Notre Dame has a chance to win its first national title since 1988 as it awaits the winner of the Cotton Bowl between Texas and Ohio State. Allar finished the night 12-for-23 for 136 yards and a touchdown, as he was out-dueled by Leonard's 223 yards and two touchdowns (one rushing)..

Notre Dame fans expressed their anger at a defensive pass interference call during Thursday night’s Orange Bowl by throwing beers onto the field at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium.

Right this instant, Drew Allar projects to be the No. 1 player taken in the 2026 NFL Draft. However, there is still a chance the junior quarterback at Penn State reconsiders his stance on returning to school for one more year.
