Allar did break the news, on Twitter. Go check Ryan’s thread.
.
As you know, Nate hinted at it a month or so ago in the Den. Said he heard he was leaning on coming back.
To be fair to Ryan, Allar’s post is timestamped at 11:22, Ryan posted at around 11:20.Missed that - maybe Ryan could learn a lesson in subject lines too since his says 'expected' to return instead of 'is returning'......
I think it's a combination of things including draft, NIL, and him still being 20 years old and maturing.
He could transfer to literally any school he wants but he chose to stay despite not having a WR1 to throw to next season. But keep spouting nonsense and have a BOT member like the post. @PSUFTG
Or another year of hitting on chicks at The Phyrst! It would make me say, “screw the NFL!”
I have mixed feelings. I'm an Allar fan but I was also looking forward to see what Pribula could do. Maybe the next McSorley. PSU has several highly rated OL and appears to be loaded at TE (Raplea, Dinkins, Reynolds). My guess is that Allen will return at RB along with Wallace and Martin. The only weakness is at WR where we certainly need portal help.
Sorry, but this has very little to do with Penn State's culture. KJ Winston is declaring for the NFL draft instead of returning. Should we infer that Penn State has a culture issue?
No no no. You have it partially wrong. Beau leaving, on Franklin. Allar staying, despite Franklin. Bad play call/execution, on Franklin. Good play call/execution, on players and coordinators-Franklin had no part.
Why wouldn't he transfer to Ohio State if it's all about the NFL? The kid is from Ohio and would start there next season. He loves the culture at PSU. He's said it many times.
Probably for the same reasons other top kids stay at their schools and OSU doesn't have 1st team all americans at every position.
You clearly haven't been following the transfer portal or Ohio State recruiting the past few years.
If you want to think Allar staying is purely a selfless act, and Penn State is the college football equivalent of Shangri-La, have at it.You clearly haven't been following the transfer portal or Ohio State recruiting the past few years.

So true. That effing idiot. How about the culture when Jerry was a coach. Some of these guys will try to fry Franklin about the weather.
Isn’t “whatever thing actually unfolds” always the worst case scenario for Penn State?
Is he flying drones over NJ and SE PA too? Is that a new recruiting tool?
Allar has publicly praised Franklin on more than one occasion. I know that bothers some people, but that’s the reality.
If you were around in '93....Kerry Collins wasn't the top QB in college as a Junior..... then his senior year '94 he was terrific....maybe his advisors realize Allar may make that same jump.

I think he'll return if he expects to get the majority of carries and rack up statsRB only have so many miles, but any chance Fatman comes back ? Seems like a wide spread between him and Singleton on the draft boards.
