Penn State QB Beau Pribula plans to enter NCAA transfer portal

Penn State quarterback Beau Pribula has entered the NCAA transfer portal. He spent two years with the Nittany Lions, serving as Drew Allar’s primary backup.

Pribula appeared in every game for Penn State this season with a package of plays to throw a different look at opposing defenses. He largely made plays with his legs, rushing for 230 yards and four touchdowns during the regular season. He also added 275 passing yards and five touchdowns through 12 games ahead of the Big Ten Championship.

As a freshman in 2023, Pribula did a majority of his work in the running game. He took 56 carries for 329 yards and four touchdowns while adding 149 passing yards and four touchdowns.

Beau Pribula played high school football at York (Pa.) Central York, where he was a three-star prospect. He was the No. 461 overall player and No. 26-ranked quarterback from the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

One of Pribula’s biggest games of the year came in late October when Penn State took on Wisconsin. Allar left with an injury late in the first half, opening the door for Pribula to take over, and he delivered. The sophomore threw for 98 yards and a touchdown, while adding 28 rushing yards, to help the Nittany Lions get the victory at Camp Randall Stadium.

Penn State put together a solid season en route to its first Big Ten Championship appearance since 2016. The Nittany Lions’ only regular-season loss came to Ohio State, and when the Buckeyes lost to Michigan on the final day of the year, PSU defeated Maryland to punch its ticket to Indianapolis. That set up a matchup against Oregon.
