Full field reader
Kept the ball out of harm's way for most of the 2023 and 2024 seasons
2024 matchup vs. USC showed the kind of heart and gamer mentality he has
Weaknesses
Motion is way too elongated at times
Serious ankle fracture ended his 2025 season
Gets caught aiming rather than looking like a natural thrower too often, loses control of the ball
10 fumbles from 2023-2024 and lost 8 of them
Doesn't match pre snap pressure looks with his post snap decisions
Has not played well against top opponents
Final Report
Allar’s play started to find an upward trajectory in 2024, but he plateau’d in 2025 before suffering a season ending injury. He’s big with a power arm, essentially possessing the physical tools teams look for at the position. Yet, he’s not an impressive thrower when it comes to timing, control and consistency. His play suffered against the better teams on Penn State’s schedule, which was glaring in 2024. His raw talent will always be enticing for developmental reasons, but he wasn’t able to tap into that enough across his multiple years as a college starter.
