Penn State quarterback Drew Allar picks a youth group to donate NIL book proceeds to
Penn State quarterback Drew Allar has a new children’s book out. And, he now has picked a charity that his first name, image, and likeness venture will benefit.
Allar announced on social media Monday that the book’s proceeds will go to Medina Youth Gridrion Football.
“I am excited to donate my proceeds from the book sales to @mygfootball (Medina, Ohio)!” Allar wrote on Twitter. “Your purchase will support youth football in Medina, including scholarships so students can participate regardless of their ability to pay.
“I am excited to give back to the community that has always supported my teammates and me! @mygfootball is where I learned football fundamentals, the value of being a good teammate, and the life skills I use today. #GoBees#WeAre“
Allar has played in four Penn State games to date. He has not yet burned his redshirt but is likely to. The Medina, Ohio native was an On3 Consensus five-star and a top-30 player in the Class of 2022.

More on Penn State quarterback Drew Allar’s children’s book
Here’s what BWI senior editor Nate Bauer wrote about the book when it was first announced last week:
“Penn State true freshman quarterback Drew Allar has shared his story in the form of an illustrated children’s book called “The Men In Back”.
“Partnering with author Andy Vodopia, Allar and his family helped to tell the in-progress story of his rise to becoming a Nittany Lion, as well as his insights into the person he is away from the field, all in the form of a 34-page hardcover book. Vodopia’s second children’s book, previously partnering with three Michigan offensive linemen for a NIL project last spring, provides fans young and old an opportunity to better learn about Penn State’s young quarterback.
““It will cover things about you that people wouldn’t necessarily know, but always done in kind of a cute fashion,” Vodopia said. “I’ll routinely get asked, what’s the age group? We call it a children’s book, but the reality is, I’m finding adults like it, too. And it’s not so much for the reading of the material. It’s that it’s kind of unique, and if you’re a fan, let’s face it, what can you get that will last forever for $20?”
“With the pre-sale of the book now launched, two options are now available for order. The $20 option is the book itself, with a $50 option available to the first 100 buyers that will come autographed by Allar.”
